I have another piece of news that I’m just thrilled about.
Daryl Cloran, who has just stepped in as artistic director for the Citadel in Edmonton, has adapted
The Cure for Death by Lightning and the Western Canada Theatre production of it will open in April 2017. Daryl wasn’t able to join us today because he’s in rehearsal, but I’ll pass on his comments from the WCT website:
"I’m excited about our whole season, but this is the show I’m most looking forward to bringing you. Gail Anderson-Dargatz’s novel is one of the best Canadian novels ever written. It’s set in Turtle Valley and is very much about this region and the people who live here. I have turned the novel into a play. It was a huge task that took a few years, but I’m so proud of how it turned out and can’t wait for you to see it. This production tackles some darker subject matter, but with Gail’s incredibly unique characters and some truly striking theatrical images, it will be a night of theatre to remember." - Daryl
