The African Queen - Workshop of a new Chamber Opera by John Senczuk and Tim Cunniffe

Sherry | 01/03/2008 - 19:24

Come and see a Workshop performance of this new Chamber Opera!

As the impact of the First World War reaches the depths of the African jungle, Charlie Allnut (Ian Toyne) and Rose Sayer (Ann Adlem), a disreputable cockney mechanic and a spinster missionary, find themselves thrown together by chance. Deeply incompatible and fighting heat, malaria and bullets - as well as each other - they make their way down the treacherous Ulanga River on the steamboat, The African Queen.

GOOD PEOPLE
By David Lindsay-Abaire, directed by Kaarin Fairfax
February 3 – March 3
What makes a good person? Is it possible to start life over? When Mike Dillion reconnects with his one time girlfriend from high school a friendship is rekindled. Lindsay-Abaire’s thoughtful new play explores class distinctions and the decisions we make that effect our entire lives.
