READ THE RAVES:
Read the Edmonton Journal Review: “Stevenson and co-star Ashley Jones have both the comedic chops to keep the laughter rolling through the plight of the Beckett-esque characters, and the pure athleticism to literally carry the show, and each other, on their backs.” (5 out of 5 stars)

Listen to the CBC Interview: “It tickles the funny-bone…”

Read the apt613 Review: “…exquisite actors and superb comedians…athletic and graceful…”

Read the Orlando Weekly Review: “I can guarantee you’ve never seen [a] show as cleverly complex as Generic Male.” (Best of the Fest, Highly Recommend)

Read the WXXI/CITY Newspaper Review: “The generic male has been shattered. To a standing ovation.”

Read the Orlando Sentinel Review: “This is the type of inventive, thought-provoking, relevant art the Fringe was made for.” (Best of the Fest)

Read the Jenny Revue Review: “…exceptionally good comedy and a deep personal earnestness. The show earns every single one of its beats, from laughter to tears.”

Read the CITY Newspaper Review: ““Generic Male” is presenting something profound that, judging by the audience’s standing ovation, we’re ready for.”

Explosive, athletic, visceral physical theatre ruined by a tragic lack of understanding.
Three “Best of the Fest” awards as well as “Critics Choice Best Show” at Orlando Fringe and “Outstanding Production” at Ottawa Fringe, a “Jenny” in Winnipeg and “Media Pick” with a 5 out of 5 star review in Edmonton have made PUSH Physical Theatre’s masculinity satire an international sensation.

Two well-meaning fools begin a serious journey with a comically absurd premise: Men apologizing for the show you’re about to see. Hilarious hijinks ensue as they examine assumptions that go unquestioned until they are spoken aloud. It’s about fathers and sons, war and death, and… James Bond. We hope it will empower people to speak up and begin to have the conversation that our characters can’t.

Are we just watching a couple of petty idiots or is this the most insightful piece of theatre of the 21st century? …No

Can you bring kids? Probably… There are some swears one awkward conversation between a father and son about consent. If it were a movie it would probably be a PG 13. The underlying message for boys and girls is positive and thoughtful – there will be lots to talk about on the ride home.
