Press PRESS
Mooney on Theatre (Sonia Borkar):
I watched Mr. Marmalade, produced by Fly by Night Theatre, at Torontos Village Playhouse on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
I had read the description of the play and knew it was a dark comedy but had no idea it would be 90 minutes (including an intermission) of non-stop hilarity. For more click here .
