Swashbuckle your way to the West End Cultural Centre for Sex T. Rex's hilarious mash-up of classic fantasy video games, The Princess Bride and, well, almost everything else.- Kelly Stifora

You'll marvel at the fights and ingenious use of simple props! You'll gasp at the turns in the irreverent plot! You'll swoon at the derring-do ofthe fearless performers! You'll howl at the sheer, unrelenting comic force of it all!

Okay, I'll stop. Suffice it to say that I had a blast with these energetic Toronto merry-makers and their skewering wit, as did everyone else atFriday'sriotous show. Plus, this is a new show to the Winnipeg Fringe and new is good.

I, for one, will be gathering every bone-in ham I can find to help Sex T. Rex fuel future westward quests.
