Exorcise all Inhibitions at Wintergarten Cabaret (deux)

Vancouver, BC – March 20, 2010, Anza Club

Remember Wintergarten Cabaret, last year’s sold-out fundraising celebration in a
wine-soaked den of rebellious spirits?

Of course you do.

Or perhaps the absinthe has led you to forget.

Doktor Luke Productions and Genus Theatre are proud to announce WINTERGARTEN CABARET (deux) on Saturday, March 20 at the Anza Club, a fundraiser for the Vancouver theatre community. Since tickets are as popular as corsets on a chorus girl, get them while you can ($15 in advance; $20 at the door)! Visit our website at wintergarten.ca or buy tickets straight from brownpapertickets.com.

We have a new and shocking line-up of performances, featuring jaw-dropping burlesque acts from the STARLET HARLOTS, daring, swinging sounds by MOMMA AND HER BOYS, smouldering dance numbers from LES PETITES TAQUINES, stupendous comedy from GENUS THEATRE, soul-saving belly dancing from ALITHIA, and our very own cross-dressing marvel, appearing in DOXY AND SCARLET SCREAM!

Join Doktor Luke and her mystifying, mesmerizing troupe of performers as we revel in the raucous belly of the artistic underworld … Dress yourself up in 1920s wear, or come as you are. But by all means, come.

TICKET INFORMATION

Don’t let the name fool you…

Vancouver, BC – A darkly silhouetted man enters the drawing room. His face, weathered and stern, examines the body lying on the floor. His badge identifies him as a police officer. Before he begins to work he takes a moment to light a cigarette; smoke wafts about the room. He turns to face the trim, stern woman waiting for him. She is dressed in the same nurse’s uniform as the unfortunate victim. The game is about to begin…

If you’re thinking you may have suddenly been taken back to the noir world of gritty crimes, long shadows, and uncertain loyalties, you are absolutely right! Genus Theatre invites its faithful following to take a theatrical jump back into the stylish realm of classic film noir as it premieres its latest production – The Physicists – this November 13th at PAL Theatre in Vancouver.

Genus Theatre proudly announces the opening of its most thrilling, twist-turning production yet, the cautionary tale of murder, betrayal, hidden agendas and earth-endangering secrets, Friederich Dürrenmatt’s The Physicists!

We live in a time of confusion and uncertainty. Our leaders have betrayed us, their motivations and decisions are suspect, and those we thought could be trusted with our well-being must now be watched with heavy caution. Science progresses at a lightning pace, from stem cells and nuclear proliferation to homemade child abducting weather balloons, humanity continues to grapple with questions of scientific responsibility and ethics. These thoughts are at the forefront of the collective consciousness.

Who can be trusted? What can we do? Should we do it?

The Physicists directly tackles these issues. By presenting Dürrenmatt’s heralded script in the style of a classic film noir, Genus Theatre invites the audience to return to the treacherous world of the stylish crime drama and experience a master plot which, though it was written 50 years ago, seems more relevant than ever.

TICKET INFORMATION

The Physicists, a 120 min show with intermission, premiers at PAL Theatre this November 13. Tickets are $18.
