Venue 4, Cosmopolitan Music Society
Fringe legend Ken Brown (Life After Hockey, Letter from Wartime) has been fascinated for years with the aerial Battle of Britain and the significant Canadian participation in that bloody engagement.
This long-time intellectual compulsion has lead to Spiral Dive, the first of three plays documenting the 1940 battle for the skies over England. This beautifully-penned, deftly produced and well-acted production documents the based-on-a-true-story adventures of Jack Harding (played with amazing intensity and endless grace by Blake Turner), a young spitfire pilot from the prairies trying to keep it together in the midst of a grinding and protracted meat-grinder of a war.
Reviewer orders you to take flight immediately and see this show: Turner's focused performance as protagonist Jack is more than ably matched by totally watchable castmates Bryan Webb and Caley Suliak. Playing the show's myriad other characters, Webb and Suliak perform this daunting task to perfection.

bad, and the ugly of this year's fringe performances.
