After reviewing all 160 Toronto Fringe shows of 2017, Mooney on Theatre staff published their top recommendations for this year’s edition. Hyena Subpoena made the list!

Ilana Lucas (…) wants to recommend the more hidden gem that is Cat Kidd’s Hyena Subpoena. It’s a show that delivers electric spoken-word poetry and evocative projections about the animals inside of us. Kidd is a masterful performer, and she spins wonders with words; go in prepared to listen with your whole mind and heart.”
