John and Beatrice

By Carole Frechette

An imaginative and subversive comedy from the writer of Helen’s Necklace, Governor General Award winner Carole Frechette.

Directed by Jamie Dunsdon

October 19 – 30, 2010

Motel in the EPCOR Centre for the Performing Arts

Beatrice has locked herself in a small room on the 33rd floor of an high-rise tower, waiting for the man who will answer her challenge: Well to do heiress seeks “a man who will interest, move, and seduce her.”  Bounty Hunter John will do anything for a reward, so the games begin… but what reward does Beatrice really offer?  A hilarious and twisted comedy about the hazards of romantic delusion.
