Kanata Theatre's 36th Season (2004-2005)
Proof
by
David Auburn
September 21-25 and September 28-October 2, 2004
Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer prize and Tony Award for Best
Play. On the eve of her 25th birthday, Catherine, a troubled
young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but
unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now she must deal with
her own volatile emotions and the discovery of a mysterious
notebook that draws her into romance, and the most difficult
problem of all: how much of her father's madness - or genius -
will she inherit.
Ethan Claymore
by Norm Foster
November 16-20 and November 23-27, 2004
Just before Christmas, struggling egg farmer/artist Ethan
Claymore meets a woman who could turn his life around, and
receives a visit from his estranged, and recently-deceased, older
brother. This play blends the softness of a Norman Rockwell
winter scene with a touch of "Seinfeld" - a truly
affectionate comedy. A story that warms the heart, coaxes the
occasional tear, and paints the kind of world we think we
deserve. This play could become a Christmas classic.
Dancing at Lughnasa
by Brian
Friel
February 1-5 and February 8-12, 2005
Winner of the 1991 Tony Award for Best Play. A haunting play, Dancing
at Lughnasa is Friel's tribute to the spirit and valour of
the past and its people. A son remembers the five women who
raised him, his mother and four maiden aunts. The sisters acquire
their first radio, whose music transforms them from correct
Catholic women to shrieking, stomping banshees. And he meets his
father for the first time, a charming Welsh drifter who sweeps
his mother away in an elegant dance across the fields.
Caught in the Net
by Ray Cooney
March 29-April 2 and April 5-9, 2005
This hilarious farce, the sequel to Run for Your Wife,
finds our bigamist taxi driver, John Smith, still keeping both
his families (one in Wimbledon and one in Streatham) happy and
blissfully unaware of each other. But his teenage children - a
girl by one wife and a boy by the other - have met on the
Internet and are determined to meet in person, since they appear
to have much in common. John lunges into a hell-hole of his own
making in order to keep them apart.
You'll Get Used to It - The War Show
by Peter Colley
May 24-28 and May 31-June 4, 2005
We mark the 60th anniversary of VE Day and the opening of the
National War Museum with this look at Canada at war as
experienced by six soldiers and the women in their lives. Comedy,
drama and song create the distilled memory of an era when life
was made more precious by the realization that it could end at
any moment.
and for the holiday season . . . .
