Toronto, ON – Theatre Smash, the theatre company that presented the acclaimed production of Abi Morgan’s Tiny Dynamite, announced its 2008 season on March 3rd, during a special evening of entertainment at the Theatre Passe Muraille’s upstairs lounge. Programmed under the title “On the Wire,” this season will explore the themes of urgency and connection.

Theatre Smash is pleased to announce that the 2008/09 season will include two distinct, but complementary mainspace productions: Norway.Today by Swiss playwright Igor Bauersima and Tijuana Cure by Canadian playwright Layne Coleman. Both plays explore the risks people take in the midst of life or death choices.

The Canadian première of Igor Bauersima’s Norway.Today will take place in September 2008 at Tarragon’s Extra Space. Since this critically-acclaimed global sensation premiered in 2000 at the Düsseldorf Play House, it has been staged more than 200 times around the world and has been translated into 25 languages.

Tijuana Cure by Layne Coleman, is based on a non-fiction piece that appeared in Canada’s literary magazine The Walrus. Adapted for the stage by director Ashlie Corcoran and actress Ieva Lucs, it was first performed in Toronto’s Summerworks Festival 2007. Theatre Smash’s premiere of the piece will be seen in Theatre Passe Muraille’s backspace in February 2009.
