A Spring of Theatre 2015 in Victoria BC. March-May.

A Spring of Theatre 2015 in Victoria BC. March-May.

Spring is a busy time in the local arts calendar.  It’s book-ended by two festivals—SPARK in March and UNO Fest in May—and features works by emerging and well-established companies—local, Canadian and international.

There’s a chance to experience the classics (Waiting for Godot, Hedda Gabler), Shakespeare (Macbeth), musicals (Chorus Line Cabaret, Bye Bye Birdie, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Amadeus, Smokey Joe’s Café, SHREK), solo shows (Call Mr Robeson, UNO Fest, ), full length improv (Sin City—SPACE, Wanted: An Improvised Western), variety shows (Geez Louise, Derwin Blanshard), new play readings, and theatre for families (The Kaleidoscope Family Theatre Festival).

Peek into a different culture (WorldPlay by Puente Theatre, The Fish Eye Trilogy at the SPARK Festival, An Evening with Fidel), learn tidbits about little revealed Canadian history (Cougar Annie Tales), be part of a fashion-experiment-turned-theatre (Fashion Machine), choose your own ending for a mystery (The Mystery of Edwin Drood), and celebrate new work (New Play Reading Series, Agency and Empathy, Waiting, My Father to Whom I Am Not Related, World’s Greatest Dad). Explore the work of celebrated and currently topical playwrights—Tracey Letts (August: Osage County), Mike Bartlett (Cock) and Christopher Durang (Vanya and Sonya and Masha and Spike) and come back to old favourites (Fred Carmichael-Victoria’s House).

The information is current as of February 25, 2015 and will be edited and updated as necessary.

Waiting for Godot
Blue Bridge at the Roxy Theatre (Quadra Village) March 5-15

Written by the great Irish playwright Samuel Beckett in 1949, first in French and then translated by the playwright into English, it had its premiere in 1953 at the Théâtre Babylone in Paris. A “tragi-comedy”, it was one of the first absurdist (or Theatre of the Absurd) plays. Becket himself is heralded as the father of the movement.

Under a tree and under their bowler caps, two clown-like men, Vladimir and Estragon, wait for the arrival of the mysterious Godot and wait….and wait… and wait….and wait.

Annie’s stories, letters and photos from her long and fascinating life are interwoven with original songs (on guitar and banjo) by this delightful Vancouver Island performer.This is a musical tribute to a legendary pioneer woman.

‘It’s hard to say which is the best part of Katrina Kadoski’s Cougar Annie Tales — her heartfelt song cycle about this fabled West Coast matriarch, or simply hearing Kadoski is back in town.’  Monday Magazine

The Fish Eyes Trilogy by Anita Majumdar
Fish Eyes, Boys with Cars & Let Me Borrow That Top
March 10-15

Boys With Cars, Let Me Borrow That Top & Fish Eyes all use music and dance to tell the coming-of-age stories of three young women in small town Canada. In Fish Eyes, Meena is an accomplished classical Indian dancer who would trade it all for a chance at true love with her crush Buddy, the most popular boy in school. Boys With Cars tells the parallel story of Naz, who is accepted into Buddy’s clique but soon realizes it’s not at all how she imagined it would be. Finally, in Let Me Borrow That Top, we hear directly from Candice, Naz’s nemesis and the perceived obstacle in Meena’s path to Buddy. Inspired by so-called honour killings, hip hop and teenage heartache, Anita’s tour de force performances celebrate the joy and awkwardness of youth while slyly tackling issues of colonialism and cultural identity.

Amadeus by Peter Shaffer
UVic Phoenix Theatre, March 12 – 21
Directed by Chari Arespacochaga (MFA Candidate)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is often considered the greatest musical genius the world has ever known. To his 18th-century contemporary, Antonio Salieri, he was vulgar, boorish, and unforgivably brilliant – thus an enemy to be eliminated. Seen through the envious eyes and maybe-skewed memory of the aging Salieri, the play chronicles their tumultuous rivalry, and Salieri’s devious efforts to destroy Mozart’s career, even while recognizing the genius of his music. But is this final confession Salieri’s last attempt to escape his own insignificant artistic legacy? The winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Play, Shaffer’s masterpiece also inspired the much-loved Academy Award-winning movie.

Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen
Working Class Theatre, at Craigdarroch Castle April 28th – May 6th at 7pm.

Penned even prior to Freud’s groundbreaking analyses. Hedda Gabler thrusts us headfirst into the trials and tribulations of George and Hedda Tesman’s new marriage. Bound by the social restrictions of Europe in the late 1890s, and beset by financial restrictions Hedda finds herself trapped in a house that’s too small and no where to go. Ibsen is quoted as saying “What I principally wanted to do was to depict human beings, human emotions, and human destinies, upon a groundwork of certain of the social conditions and principles of the present day.” his depiction paints a stark portrait indeed as Hedda’s games and snares catch up with her in the end.

Set in the gorgeous architecture of Craigdarroch Castle, Hedda Gabler’s crisp dialogue, high drama and dark undertone will delight lovers of Downton Abbey or The Tudors and will leave you wondering just what you would do if you were locked in a gilded cage?
