The duo pulled these transitions off beautifully almost every time, with only a few moments where I felt myself having to catch up to the brisk pace of the show. This proved to be a perfect combination making for some hard-hitting comedy, but also some very powerful themes.ĭespite being a shorter piece, the writing is tricky, following a non-linear storyline jumping from scene to scene and character to character. The ying to each other’s yang, Greenblatt’s characters were very emotive and frenetic, whereas Jabr’s characters were often blunt and moody. Jabr and Greenblatt are a match made in heaven–or rather, a match made in a Toronto coffee shop during the winter of 2015, when the two actors first met. While Jabr’s character pursues an acting school in Brussels to escape the conflict, Greenblatt plays a Jewish-Canadian who ventures to Israel with a Birthright expedition to find her great grandfather’s house. This piece centres around the Israeli-Palestine Conflict that started in 1948 and continues to this day. With a subtle leitmotif and a quick change in the lights, Rimah and Natasha had snapped into one of the many characters they would soon become. However, as the light dimmed and both actresses began their quirky preambles to the audience, the show had already grabbed me. As I took my seat, I was unsure of what to expect. Having never experienced Tarragon’s Workspace before, I was delighted upon arriving to find myself in an intimate, comfortable studio environment. Both playwright/actresses– Natasha Greenblatt and Rimah Jabr–have returned to present this brilliant piece. Originally presented as a part of Why Not Theatre’s RISER PROJECT in 2017, Two Birds One Stone has made a return to the Toronto stage at the Tarragon Theatre.

Despite this, however, Kinky Friedman masterfully tells the story of a lonely New Yorker’s journey from isolation to reentry into society to a booming writing career.
Unfortunately, the inevitable success of Walter’s book is predictable, and the author chooses to leave some issues, such as the nature of the true relationship between Clyde and Fox, unresolved. Although relatively harmless at first, the pranks escalate into a battery of attacks on corporate icons that have the potential to result in severe consequences.

Almost immediately, Fox Harris, her equally calculating and reckless partner-in-crime appears.
