VENUE: The Cultch Historic Theatre

DATES: July 21 – 25

Presented as part of the Neanderthal Arts Festival
Tickets available at www.thal.ca/tickets

SHOW DESCRIPTION
Genus Theatre presents a brazenly comedic look at the follies of the newest incarnation of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  The story spans the past century as the dysfunctional quartet of Death, Famine, War and Pestilence barge their way through history.  Desperate to rehabilitate their image and successfully bring about the end of the world, the foursome face their biggest challenge yet: each other. The pace is fast and the scope is grand, but the focus is wonderfully and pettily personal, as the 4H Club’s headstrong desires and very human weaknesses inexorably bring humanity closer to the end of the road.

HISTORY OF THE PIECE

In 2006 a Genus team comprised of Kristian Ayre, Jordan Bodiguel, Frano Marsic, Aidan Maxted, Frank Nickel, and Kelly Sheridan participated in Show Off – Theatre Under the Gun, a 48 theatre festival in which companies are given a prop, a line of text, an image and a sound clip that inspires the creation of a 10-15 minute piece.  Our 48 hours resulted in the first incarnation of The 4H Club.  The production won an audience choice award and was held over at Performance Works on Granville Island.  In 2009, The 4H Club was resurrected and featured in a Best of Theatre Under the Gun anniversary festival.

The 4H Club is presented as part of  the Neanderthal Arts Festival.  Please visit their website for ticket and festival info.
