SwordPlay: A Play of Swords
Presented by Sex T-Rex
8–14 Jun 2026
A swashbuckling adventure comedy where no plot is untwisted, no bad guy
unstabbed, and no chandelier unswung! Following the success of Crime After Crime
(After Crime), Toronto-based comedy company Sex T-Rex proudly returns to the
Barrie Theatre Festival their most beloved and acclaimed one-act show, SwordPlay:
A Play of Swords! A loving parody of the adventure genre mixed with retro video
games, drawing on The Princess Bride, The Three Musketeers, Game of Thrones,
Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy, to name a few. Created and performed by Sex
T-Rex: Conor Bradbury, Julian Frid, Lowen Morrow, Seann Murray, and Sharjil
Rasool.
