Adam you'll know well, from PT shows like The Busy World Is Hushed, A Man For All Seasons, and Last Train To Nibroc. Byron Noble was hilarious in You Still Can't as Dave the beat poet, a government agent named Dave, and Uncle Vlad ("Call me Dave! Since Parastroika, this my name."). And while Shauna Johannesen may not be familiar to PT audiences just yet, she's very much becoming part of the PT community: a playwright and actress who did her theatre work at the same college as Jacqui and Ryan Hoke, she was VERY funny in her Fringe show Deadley. I've got a hunch Evelyn Strange will be very, very funny...

VANCOUVER, BC PREMIERE : Staircase XI Theatre Productions presents the Vancouver Premiere of Stewart Lemoine’s murder mystery Evelyn Strange --- a dark comedy inspired by film noir and Wagnarian Opera to explore themes of identity, greed, and passion through word play and personal revelation.

Evelyn Strange follows the amnesiac title character in 1955 as she seeks her own identity while forcing others to reluctantly reveal their true selves. Set in upscale Manhattan, the play parallels by the epic story of Wagner’s Siegfried through its characters as well as its musical score.

Canadian playwright Stewart Lemoine’s Evelyn Strange is the latest show from Staircase XI Theatre Productions. The company’s most recent production at the Vancouver Fringe Festival, Will Eno’s “Oh, The Humanity, and Other Good Intentions” was held over and nominated for the Georgia Straight’s Critics Choice award.
