Creepy Puppets
Everyone loves terrifying puppets with yarn hair. And I got to write a little play for them. Alice Nelson produced A Night at the Grand Guignol in Calgary in Februrary and my play “A Matching Pair” was smack at the top. Grand Guignol means Big puppet and at the Theatre du Grand Guignol in Paris ( 1897-1962) it was known as the “Theater of Laughter and Terror”. Apparently, it all went really well. Because, people like awful, fuzzy puppets, plus blood.
14/48 The World’s Quickest Theater Festival
In January I was allowed to be part of pretty much the most scary, most fun, best creative kick in the ass- 14/48
What is it?
14 plays conceived, written, rehearsed, scored, directed and performed in 48 hours.
The result? An awesome experience that featured a lot of late night hyperventilation and then happiness and also talented people-and two new plays that I wrote- Crocodiles and Deep and True. Check out the photos taken by David Baum.
