The theme of transformation permeates this production in progress…
Breakfast was conceived and developed by The Independent Aunties during their residency at Toronto’s The Theatre Centre. Breakfast expands on the company’s absurdist and darkly humourous style but is a departure with regards to its theatrical vision and use of space. Audiences are invited to see the show multiple times during the run to witness the transformation of the production as director, designers, writers and performers continue to work days and play nights until the very last week. Hold onto your ticket stub and see the show again for $5 on the last Tuesday of the run!

The Independent Aunties are a theatre company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They strive to create theatre that is playful, witty, physically stylish and wildly imaginative. Much of the work delves into women’s societal roles, constraints and obsessions, both historically and contemporarily. They are wordsmiths, with a penchant for satire and outrageous humour. They have written plays entirely in rhyme, turned metaphors into a literal reality on stage and are always looking at the underbelly, the flip-side and the large possibilities inherent in the suspension of disbelief in the theatre.
The company was founded in 2003, with the creation of what has become their award-winning show, Clean Irene & Dirty Maxine. Over the ensuing five years, Clean Irene & Dirty Maxine has toured across Canada and the U.S, and they created three other critically acclaimed plays, Frances, Mathilda and Tea (Produced by Theatre Passe Muraille 2005), The Mysterious Shorts (Commissioned and produced by Theatre Passe Muraille 2005 and Robbers Daughters (Commissioned and produced by the Cooking Fire Festival 2007). |
