REVIEWS
"Teaching the Fringe: You have to wonder what Montrealer Keir Cutler is still doing in the Fringe circuit, but if you want to be seriously entertained by a phenomenal performer, don't miss this. From the playwright and performer of the award-winning solo play Teaching Shakespeare comes Cutler's first autobiographical show. Directed by Fringe favourite TJ Dawe, it's a witty and urbane look at the menace of rogue audience members. In addition to holding a Ph.D. in theatre from Wayne State University in Detroit and a playwriting diploma from the National Theatre School, he's also really, really funny."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------WINNIPEG SUN 5 Stars out of 5, review of Teaching the Fringe
Keir Cutler's previous play, Teaching As You Like It, about a lecherous teacher and a 15-year old girl, prompted one woman to report Cutler to Child Find Manitoba and accuse him of actually teaching the seduction of children.

Abstract: This paper offers the reflections of a Canadian actor on the “Shakespeare Authorship Question.” After completing his Ph.D. in Theatre, the writer found himself asking why, in all his years in academe, no one ever mentioned that there even was such a thing as a “Shakespeare Authorship Question.” His own questioning led to the creation of several one-person shows on the subject. His pieces go beyond exploring the “Question” to also tackle the notion of authorship and the practice of biography. One of the most successful of them builds on Mark Twain’s material on the contested issue of Shakespeare’s Authorship.

After graduating with my PhD in Theatre, I became a monologist. For my third monologue, I was looking around for something to write. I remembered a crackpot idea called the “Shakespeare Authorship Question,” the theory that William Shakespeare didn’t write his famous plays and poems. I didn’t know much about it, other than it existed. I certainly never had a professor mention it, other than to laugh at it, and say it was a conspiracy theory from the lunatic fringe.
I thought that could make a funny play. I could create some silly buffoon character who believes t
