From crime to tea biscuits

Our morning smile today comes from a theatrical promotional poster that always makes me grin.

It’s for The Garden Party, a play performed at Commissariat House in the east end of St. John’s, and available to be seen this summer on Thursdays at 7 and Saturdays and Sundays at 4. Click on the Corner Boys site for the exact details, as well as information about their other summer production, Mutiny.

The Tiring House: Using toys for a tale

One of the plays running in Cupids this summer for the 400th anniversary celebrations is called The Tiring House. It’s a gem, written and performed by Chris Driedzic of St. John’s, about how the famous Globe theatre burned to the ground.

Chris uses the simplest objects - you can see them above - to start the one-man show. Kids eat it up.

You can find details about performance dates for the play, and others in the New World Theatre Project, right here.

Thanks to Martha Muzychka for the pic.
