Blair Gibson from the GCTC & brissyraces.com.au joins us with his thoughts on the Gold Coast meeting this Saturday.
Centred around the cataclysmic 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami Carried Away on the Crest of a Wave illustrates how world events link us all together. From two brothers in Malaysia trying to save their house from sinking, a Canadian radio-show host angered by disaster-relief efforts, a grieving Japanese father, to a lonely woman in Utah baking a pie, the play explores humanity in times of disaster. Winner of the 2015 Governor General's Literary Award for Drama and directed by Siminovitch Prize laureate Kim Collier, carried away on the crest of a wave shows that despite our differences, we are all connected through serendipity, loss and love. The stellar cast includes John Ng from CBC TV's Kim's Convenience, Zaib Shaikh, star of CBC TV's Little Mosque on the Prairie, Adrienne Wong, a frequent director at the GCTC, Kayvon Khoshkam from NAC's productions of Twelfth Night and The December Man (L'homme de décembre) and Jenny Young from the NAC's productions of Innocence Lost: A Play about Steven Truscott and The Penelopiad.
This episode contains a discussion of the Ottawa Theatre School's "Under Milk Wood" directed by Janet Irwin, and "The Middle Place", a Project: Humanity production at the GCTC. Andrew tells us about "Rivage a L’Abandon, Medee-Materiau, Paysages Avec Argonautes" at the University of Ottawa, and "Lauchie, Liza, and Rory", a Mulgrave Road Theatre production at the NAC. We go over the newly announced 2011/2012 season at the Great Canadian Theatre Company, Tania delivers a rant about honest feedback and theatre subscribers (okay, maybe that's two rants) and finally, Andrew fills us in on the fabulous party that was John Koensgen's 60th Birthday/New Theatre of Ottawa fundraiser and mystery season launch.
In episode 5 we discuss Pierre Brault's "Shadow Cutter" at the GCTC, the English Theatre Company's "St. Carmen of the Main" at the NAC, Third Wall Theatre's "Antigone" and we give a quick shout out to Centaur Theatre's "Instructions to any Future Socialist Government Wishing to Abolish Christmas" and the Ottawa U Drama Guild production of "The Jew of Malta".
In this episode we cover the final show of the GCTC season: Daniel MacIvor's "This is What Happens Next" playing in the Irving Greenberg Theatre in partnership with the Magnetic North Theatre Festival; Third Wall Theatre's "Exit the King" directed by James Richardson and starring Andy Massingham; and "YICHUD (Seclusion)", another Magnetic North show, originally from Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto, playing in Academic Hall at the University of Ottawa.
