Canadian Rep Theatre Toronto How Do I Love Thee

In February, 2015, Canadian Rep Theatre presents the Toronto premiere of Florence Gibson MacDonald’s How Do I Love Thee?, directed by Ken Gass, at Berkeley Street Upstairs Theatre. Penned by the author of the award-winning Belle and Home is My Road, How Do I Love Thee? is a language-rich exploration of both the euphoric and darker sides of the marriage of Elizabeth Barrett (Browning) and Robert Browning, poets who enjoyed ‘rock star status’ at the heights of their careers. The production will preview January 31 – February 4, open February 5 and run until February 22. The production features a stellar cast with Irene Poole as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Matthew Edison as Robert Browning, Nora McLellan as Wilson and Richard McMillan as John Kenyon.

Alumnae Theatre Blood Relations

TORONTO—Alumnae Theatre continues our 2014-2015 season with Sharon Pollock’s Governor General’s award-winning play Blood Relations January 23-February 7, 2015. Pollock’s play takes us on a psychological journey, bringing the past to life in a search for a possible answer, a motive. The only suspect, the real Lizzie Borden, was acquitted of murdering her father and stepmother, but in Blood Relations, the chilling question still repeats.

“Did you Lizzie? Did you?”

Rather than centering on the grisly details of the murders, the play focusses on the patriarchal oppressive society Lizzie Borden (played by Marisa King) has endured. Lizzie’s friend, and lover, The Actress (Andrea Brown) play a game of memory and imagination, reenacting moments of Lizzie’s life leading up to the murders as a play-in-a-play. Kathleen Jackson Allamby, Steven Burley, Rob Candy, Sheila Russell, and Thomas Gough play the cast of characters in Lizzie’s life. Director Barbara Larose has assembled an extremely talented cast and production team to bring this psychological murder mystery to the Alumnae Theatre MainStage.

“If no one looks in the mirror, I’m not even there. I don’t exist.”

Larose’s direction explores the play’s central themes of identity and the masks we wear. Blood Relations “asks questions about what is truth and about how we, as a society, treat those who are different in any way,” says Larose. “One of the more brilliant aspects of the play is how it speaks to us individually — who has not questioned their identity – their very worth – at one point or other in their lives?”

Blood Relations features a design and artistic team that includes Gabriel Cropley (lighting designer), Ed Rosing (set designer), Margaret Spence (costume designer), Rick Jones (sound designer) and Ellen Green (assistant director).

( ͡ຈ╭͜ʖ╮͡ຈ ) WISH, MARRIAGE, COUNTRY ( ͡ຈ╭͜ʖ╮͡ຈ )

Following the Opening Reception of Come Up To My Room comes “Any Way You Like” … a multi-media installation inspired by the process of camera-less film-making. Here, watercolour paintings are dissected into smaller frames, scanned, and transformed into animations. These frames are then projected onto fabric sculptures that hang between two large sheets of plastic – swimming like microbes caught between glass slides. Any Way You Like explores the idea of confusion upon inspection, when the magnification of details result in abstraction and a dissociation from their original form.

MUSIC
WISH – http://handdrawndracula.com/artists/wish/
“Toronto band WISH play stripped-down psych rock, and on ‘Retro Grade’ they manage to stuff a lot of spacey jamming into a two and a half minutes. The track appears on the band’s upcoming self-titled debut, and you can hear it in the video below, which also gives you a good look at the lyrics and the band themselves.” ~ STEREOGUM

MARRIAGE – https://soundcloud.com/marriagetheband
“From No Wave to Power Pop, Toronto’s Marriage eat up everything within close vicinity only to regurgitate it back onto the floor in a heap of neon sludge. Blending their sound with homemade installations, onstage Marriage creates a nest of spectral delights that await your presence for its hatching.”

COUNTRY – https:/countrymtl.bandcamp.com
“Country frontman Beaver Sheppard is one of Montreal’s premier eccentrics. Country’s album, Failure, is legitimately one of the best local releases of 2014.” CULTMTL
