La Ronde
By Arthur Schnitzler
Directed by Conrad Alexandrowicz
Set & Lighting Designer Paphavee Limkul
Costume Designer Cat Haywood
Stage Manager Lydia Comer
A psychological dance of passion, power and seduction through Vienna society in the 1890s. From a soldier and a prostitute, to an actress and a count, the intimate relationships of ten interconnected couples wittily unfold to comment on the sexual mores and class ideology of the day. Advisory: Mature subject matter, sexual content.
Read more about Director Conrad Alexandrowicz’s approach to fusing this period play with a contemporary sensibility in an interview in the Times Colonist with writer, Adrian Chamberlain.
