With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 285th episode we bring you a Duet Review of 12 Litres 880 Steps created, directed, and performed by Anita La Selva, presented by The Unbridled Theatre Collective & Aluna Theatre. Join Mackenzie Horner and Jillian Robinson, as they remark on the power of theatre: a platform to gallop when routine is rigid, to explain when most moments have been quieted, and to be a breath of air quelling drowning pasts.12 Litres 8800 Steps plays at Factory Theatre Mainspace (125 Bathurst St.) from May 1 - May 17, 2026. This review contains SPOILERS. The episode will begin with a general non-spoiler review until the [16:20] mark, followed by a more in-depth/anything goes/spoiler-rich discussion. If you intend to see the production, we recommend you stop watching after that point, or at least proceed at your own risk.Follow our panelists:Jillian Robinson – Instagram: @jillian.robinson96 Mackenzie Horner - Mackenzie Horner – Instagram: (Before the Downbeat: A Musical Podcast) – Instagram/Facebook: @BeforetheDownbeatApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3aYbBeNSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3sAbjAuFollow Cup of Hemlock Theatre on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @cohtheatreIf you’d like us to review your upcoming show in Toronto, please send press invites/inquiries to [email protected].
