Storytelling Thrill Seekers Get It Right

How often can you partake in a live theatre event knowing you are guaranteed not just an amazing experience but one that is going to be a non-stop adrenaline rush? From the moment actors enter the room in The Market, you had better prepare yourself for one hell of a testosterone filled 90 minutes. The audience is a fly on the wall amidst the dirty dealings of these hunky 20-something stock brokers making their way through the finance world and just days away from seizing the biggest deal of their lives.

The dashingly stylish Aaron Forward, Ryan Moleiro, Kyle McDonald, and Julian DeZotti are masters of financial mayhem who go for a multi-billion dollar cash grab in 'The Market'. The presentation, which is staged in a real life downtown Toronto office environment, runs until May 23.


More than $12 billion dollars is within reach but can they keep their temptations at bay long enough to make it happen?

Love him or loathe him, Clint, the leader and resident bully of the pack, keeps the momentum surging at a heart pounding rate.  Canoodling like typical male, aggressive power mongers, this tight team are momentarily thrown off their game when, Ewan, a new broker walks into the office.  Will the newbie prove to be the glue that bonds the volatile team or does Ewan’s arrival signal the end to the entire heist.

Timely, sexy, and brilliantly scripted, Bobby Del Rio is no holds barred with rough, psychotic characters, basking in raunchy language and non-stop action.  He’s a writer/director comfortable enough in his own skin to use the types of lingo that would offend most. Don’t expect any regrets for this in your face script and its powerhouse cast that pull it off.

Among Bobby Del Rio’s long track record of stage success is 2007’s Porn Life at Alchemy Theatre. His flare for narrative was also seen in Christian Values, Professionally Ethnic, When Children Fall, Half-Chinx Taking Over the World and Child Hood.

What’s most reputable about this non-conventional theatre experience is that you barely have a second to catch your breath before the next moment has already climaxed.  The Market is definitely a hot commodity complete with an ending that would make the godfather of edge, Quentin Tarantino, look fondly upon storytelling’s next generation of thrill seekers.

If there’s one play you need to see this month, The Market is well worth risking your hard earned cashola.
