Men of Misfortune (November 1-10, 2018)
Written by Charles Picco
Featuring Andy Jones & Greg Malone
Directed by Nicole Rousseau
***Content warning: Contains strong language and mature themes. For more info, contact communications@lspuhall.ca***
An original thriller with dark comic elements, Men of Misfortune chronicles the uncomfortable and unexpected reunion of two elderly brothers inside their childhood home on Craigmillar Avenue in St. John’s. A home (like the brothers themselves) that seems permanently stuck in time. As certain truths and transgressions emerge from the shadows, and territorial lines are drawn, Henry and Lester MacPherson soon realize that one of them may not be getting out of the house alive.
And that’s just goddamn fine with them.
Persistence Theatre’s Offensive to Some (January 24-27, 2019)
Written by Berni Stapleton
Directed by Ruth Lawrence
Featuring Miranda MacDonald
In prison for killing her husband – a man who has abused her for years- her journey as a wife, mother, daughter, but most of all as a woman, is revealed in her interactions with unseen cops and a parade of talk show hosts. Through dark humour, flights of fancy, and dramatic flashbacks that reveal her painful past, an unforgettable and deeply truthful portrait emerges before the audience.
Echo Productions’ Charlie: Son of Man (March 21-24, 2019)
Written by Adrian Yearwood
Directed by Victoria Fuller
A modern twist on the story of one of the most infamous characters of the 20th century, Charles Manson, Charlie: Son of Man plays on the recent renaissance of demagoguery and vitriolic nationalism. This adaption of the Manson Family story uses sex and today’s drug of choice – mobile phones (and by extension social media) as the tools of manipulation for his nefarious deeds.
