dahlia katz: See listing, according to NOW Magazine. Rating NNNNBroken Social Scene band leader Kevin Drew's debut as an actor and playwright is a hilarious, insightful and moving look inside the music industry and the anxious psyche of a mid-career rocker who begins to doubt his hit-making skills. Photo by Dahlia Katz A&R ANGELS by Kevin Drew Crow's Theatre . At Streetcar Crowsnest 345 Carlaw . Runs to December 9. 20- 50. crowstheatre.ca. Clearly drawing on his own experiences and creative anxieties, Drew conjures an intriguing fantastical conceit to explore these personal and professional worries where writing a hit song is quite literally a matter of life and death. No pressure, right The problem is that the duo seems to have lost their touch, and with suicides piling up, they fall under scrutiny from their heavenly overseer, a gregarious A&R artists and repertoire executive Maurice Dean Wint who, along with his underling Graham Cuthbertson attempt an intervention. In the story, Drew and Billy Talent lead singer Ben Kowalewicz play a duo of songwriter angels who magically appear in the final moments of suicide attempts with one chance to perform an original song that convinces the person to live.
