The Department of Theatre @ UVic is proud to present another season of innovative, wide-ranging theatre you won't find anywhere else in Victoria. spotlight on alumni: DEATH OF A CLOWN October 14 – 23, 2010 By Sebastien Archibald Produced by ITSAZOO Productions A satire told through the art of clowning, Death of a Clown recounts the story of Roy, a floppy, fun-loving clown born into a rigid and oppressive metropolis. A natural outsider, he suppresses his clowning nature in favour of a life spent clawing his way up the corporate ladder. But when he meets Anna, a sassy clown with big plans to turn the world upside down, Roy's life is thrown into chaos. The result is a hilarious multi-media satire, featuring a live band and seven original songs, to motivate the rabble rouser in all of us. Advisory: Mature subject matter and strong language. YERMA November 11-27, 2010 By Federico García Lorca Directed by Warwick Dobson Lorca's "tragic poem" is a harsh critique of the strict moral code that constrained women in mid-twentieth-century rural Spain. The play chronicles the passion, frustration and anguish of a young married woman as she struggles to come to terms with her inability to become a mother. Trapped within the confines of a loveless marriage and the victim of a judgmental and repressive community, her increasing desperation leads her to an unconventional and reckless course of action. TWELFTH NIGHT February 24 - March 5, 2011 By William Shakespeare Directed by Linda Hardy From its unforgettable opening line, to its deliriously comic conclusion, Twelfth Night is a masterpiece of disguise, deception and desire. Mayhem ensues as one character after another takes a tumble at love. Neither clowns nor counts are exempt. Viola loves Orsino; Orsino – and an entourage of suitors – love Olivia; Olivia loves Caesario, but Caesario is Viola in disguise! Enter Sebastian, Viola’s twin brother to redouble the chaos of it all! INSIDE March 17-26, 2011 By Daniel MacIvor Guest Director David Ferry WORLD PREMIERE A group of twenty-somethings confront life in the modern world in this new drama. In a series of two person scenes, a dozen characters connect over the course of a single day — a day to be forever etched in the life stories of each involved. New immigrants, orphaned children, born-again Christians, drug addicts, entrepreneurs and angels find a common ground at ground zero, a hotel named Inside. But inside is also where each of these disparate characters must travel within themselves to find meaning and to understand how their lives have brought them here. Advisory: Mature subject matter, nudity and strong language. 2010-11 Season Community Partner
