“Retrograde”, a chaotically unconventional play that is anything but backwards

I’m not here to talk about what has already been covered from other articles. I’m here to share the wildly unexpected experience of Retrograde. Upon arriving to Supermarket, I had only read the synopsis (that honestly does not capture how wild this show is) and the small sign outside of the venue told me I was in the right place. Obviously, the Fringe staff were very sociable and helpful. I met two girls who were seeing the show for a second time because they loved the play so much and had no intentions of seeing any other Fringe shows. I had a lovely conversation with Cyan (like the colour) at the <a href="https://www.deadraccoon.ca/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Dead Raccoon</a> merchandise table where all sales go towards the band. Yes, this is a key hint for later. Seating was perplexing to someone who grew up watching musical theatre in a traditional setting. The diner booths to the side and stand-alone aluminum chairs strategically placed to make a middle aisle to the stage gave the venue just the right type of message to say, “you’re attending a theatre production, but it’s a show in a bar about a band who performs in the bar.” The alcohol at the venue was a bonus (for those who drink). <a href="https://medium.com/@brittney.rolston/retrograde-a-chaotically-unconventional-play-that-is-not-backwards-74a42bf1d24f">Read More</a>
