Fear of Flight
A bumpy transcontinental flight. Fourteen nervous people on board. Some of Canada's best playwrights. And choreography.
Newfoundland theatre company Artistic Fraud brings its musical production Fear of Flight to The Cultch in Vancouver.
So many of us are afraid of flying, especially these days, but what are our other fears? This examination of fear is directed by Siminovitch Prize-winning Jillian Keiley, and written by Robert Chafe, but also includes the work of eight other playwrights, including Daniel MacIvor, Marie Clements and Judith Thompson, who were commissioned to write monologues for the characters. A choral soundtrack accompanies the work.
Not your average theatrical experience, to be sure.
