THE WAIT at the Edmonton International Fringe

the waitThe Wait

Description:  For Elena, Frankie, Miles, and Frank, waiting is an institution. But just because the people are standing still, it doesn’t mean life has to. With the help of superheroes, dancing, gin, snacks, and fellow humans, waiting ceases to be an annoying chore, and instead becomes an opportunity for personal connection. This show will give you a whole different perspective to think about while waiting in line outside Fringe venues!

The Turn Of The Screw - PosterThe Turn of The Screw by Jeffrey Hatcher
Directed by Maria Colonescu

Featuring:
Darrell Portz – Man (Walterdale Member)
Shanni Pinkerton – Woman

Based on the provocative tale of suspense, horror and repressed sexuality, this adaptation gives the famous story yet another turn of its own. A young governess journeys to a lonely English manor house to care for two recently orphaned children. The new governess has begun to see specters haunting the children, and she must find a way to stop the fiends before it is too late. But one frightening question tortures the would-be heroine: Are the ghosts real, or are they the product of her own fevered imagination?
