Theatre Bacchus presents
THE CANADIAN PREMIERE
of
"Special Features"
by
Nick Broadhead
Directed by Lana Borsellino
You may be slightly surprised by the latest offering by the Chedley Mortimer Playhouse Players as it ends abruptly, with no resolution of the slightly absurd plot, which contains blatant product placements for local businesses.
You are about to witness a theatrical first – the opportunity to scroll through the ‘Special Features’ of the play, as though it were a DVD.
During every ensuing Scene, the critical points of the play’s production are re-visited, allowing you to piece together some of the questions raised in the act that you have already seen:
What is the significance of the parrot?
Why has such a terrible actor been cast as the leading man?
Why does a Hollywood screenwriter write a play every other year for such a second rate Amdram group?
And how did the leading lady break her leg?
This comedy, with its unique take on a play within a play, has been compared to ‘Noises Off’, with the ingenious twists and turns of the plot and its hilarious dialogue.
Hosted at London Born Wine Co.'s beautiful event space at 3749 Walker Rd. Beamsville, ON.
