Vagabond Productions Goes Political with Upcoming Production

Posting Date(s)
Vagabond is presenting the controversial Canadian political play "Captives of the Faceless Drummer" by George Ryga, best known for "The Ecstasy of Rita Joe." The play opens in a near-future dystopian Canada. Harry, a respected diplomat, is hostage to a violent revolutionary cell led by the enigmatic Commander. The action bounces between past and present and offers glimpses into Harry and the Commander鈥檚 memories as they struggle to find common ground, despite overwhelming differences between them. The show runs in the Faculty Lounge of SDU Main Building, March 10 to 14. The doors open at 7:00 pm for a 7:30 pm curtain. There are no advanced ticket sales and admission is pay-what-you-can. The play deals with mature subject matter and includes mature language, so it may not be appropriate for everyone. For more information, you can call 902-566-6013 or email gdoran@upei.ca.
