Stagehands set to rock Fringe 2010 with a ‘Bring Your Own Venue’ production of THE SILENT CITY
THE SILENT CITY is a Broadway-Rock Musical written and performed by Toronto band Stagehands. The musicians double as actors and the production is also rock concert. The venue is Kensington Market’s rock/theatre bar Bread and Circus, home to last year’s BYOV hit ‘My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding‘.
THE SILENT CITY is the story of Stan, a lonely and frustrated musician who travels to Laconia, the Land of Entertainment, in search of an audience, and maybe even fame. Instead, he finds a city whose celebrity citizens are forced to wear identical masks by the all-powerful Mayor. What follows is a dramatic struggle between Stan and the Mayor for the fate of Laconia and its people.
Puppets, live action, and masks transport you into the imagined, sadomasochistic world of Victorian poet, Algernon Swinburne and his love-struck companion, Theodore Watts. To win Swinburne’s love, Theo must triumph over a lusty ghost resurrected through salacious letters, a school mistress who paddles with enthusiasm, a preacher who wants a nibble, and puppets who will do anything for a BITE!
Directed by Julian Nicholson and featuring Barbara Worthy (as Katherine)
What ever became of the ‘flower power children’ of the Bob Dylan generation? Rock and folk dominated their lives and JFK, Pierre Trudeau and Martin Luther King were their heroes. This was the generation that was going to change the world. “Lambs in Winter” is a – take no prisoners – dramatic comedy about three close friends from the 60’s. It will resonate with and is a must see for every boomer and their first born.
