List of Plays
American Intelligence
by David Quast, Mark Wheeler & Bas Rynsewyn
Serious Moonlight Productions,
Prince George, BC
American Intelligence follows the careers of two CIA Agents. From early
on it is clear these two represent American intelligence.
The Death of Me
by Norm Foster
Moment in Time Productions,
Dawson Creek, BC
A young man finds himself in heaven. There he encounters an uber-bureaucrat,
the Angel of Death. Despite her penchant for fast-tracking new arrivals into
the afterlife, he convinces her to grant him 48 hours during which he will
return to earth to confront the fiancee who dumped him at the altar, the
doctor who misdiagnosed him, and ‘to make a wave’ before officially - and
finally - shuffling off the mortal coil for the second time.
Hot Flashes - Revelations of the Dangerous Age
by Dori Appel & Carolyn Myers
Fine Whine Productions
Maple Ridge, BC
Hot Flashes - Revelations of the Dangerous Age celebrates the sisterhood
of women through the comedic exploration of the natural life transition
known as MENOPAUSE. Using sharp wit, double-entendre, physical humour and
sight gags, Appel and Myers’s comedy offers a unique insight into the
mysteries of “The Change.”
Krapp’s Last Tape
by Samuel Beckett
Revelstoke Theatre Company,
Revelstoke, BC
A 69-year-old man looks back on his life by listening to a tape made when
he was 39 years old, at the peak of his existence.
Late Entry
by David Tristram, adapted with permission by John Stuart & Colleen Byberg
Blind Mice Theatre Company,
New Westminster, BC
Sarah is competing in a one act festival with a monologue about her lost
cat, Roger. Her performance is less than successful and cut short by the
adjudicator, who proceeds to give a more than honest opinion of her show.
Sarah, however, turns the tables on the adjudicator in this hilarious spoof
of the one act festival experience.
Panels
by Dawn-Amber Kennedy
Limited Edition Theatre Co-op,
Vernon, BC
This play explores relationships between women in one family, and the
community in which they live. Panels was a finalist last year in Theatre
BC’s Canadian National Playwriting Competition.
Rupert
by Rebecca Strom
591 Productions
New Westminster, BC
A play about the mismatched pair of thirteen-year-old Lucy and her crude,
sexist, swearing, porn-addicted teddy bear Rupert, and their struggle to
make sense of Lucy’s changing world as she is forced from adolescence into
adulthood.
Something’s In the Basement
by Don Nigro
Williams Lake Studio Theatre
Williams Lake, BC
A couple moves into an old house where they are troubled by a wife’s
reluctance to allow her husband to touch her, and by her growing insistence
there is something making bizarre noises in the basement. Their fear turns
into an obsessive struggle and a strange erotic triangle, the third member
of which lurks in the darkness beneath them. An unusual play, funny and
terrifying, about women and men and things that go bump in the night.
Street Talk
by Nancy Painter
Leaping Thespians Theatre Company
Burnaby, BC
Life is very different on opposite sides of a Gastown street. An
idealistic student interviews a homeless woman, while two up-and-coming
young executives visit over designer coffees.
The Tragical Comedy (or the Comical Tragedy) of Anthony Puncinello, His
Wife, Associates, and Miscellaneous Spiritual Entities
by Todd Sullivan
Edgeworx
Williams Lake, BC
This is an adaptation of a traditional Punch and Judy show, played
violently straight with humans instead of puppets. Anthony Puncinello has a
bad day that gets worse and worse, if you can call “killing your wife and
daughter” a bad day. There are violent situations and vulgar words.
