Bull by Mike Bartlett

This black comedy delivers a blistering expose on work-place bullying. Bartlett is one of England’s most celebrated modern playwrights, and his razor-sharp wit – combined with his remarkable gifts for creating dialogue and character – keep our allegiances in constant flux. Rooting for the good guys isn’t as easy as it might seem when we’re never sure who the good guys really are.

For those who love nasty humour, there’s horrible fun afoot at Theatre Inconnu… a bracing evisceration of office politics.” Adrian Chamberlain, Times Colonist, Victoria

“Although Bull is often painful to take in, it’s brilliant and very much worth seeing.”

Emily Welch, Nexus, Victoria

Witch by Jen Silverman

Tickets for this show are on sale now.

Silverman has taken a 17th century play (The Witch of Edmonton by Rowley, Decker, & Ford) and infused it with modern sensibilities and vernacular to give us a comedic fable with serious undertones. Opportunism is creating havoc in the Duke’s household as Satan’s apprentice works her mischief, and Elizabeth – the village outcast with more sense than all combined – creates a magic that threatens to derail the best laid devilish plans.

The Shoemaker’s Son by Amira Abdel-Malek

We are excited to bring you this delightful Second Stage presentation.
Please note that this show is NOT part of our 4-show subscription season. If you are a subscriber, your subscription admission is NOT applicable to this show.

 What happens when you assemble the real-life experiences of a former refugee, who left Egypt in the 1970s, from the perspective of his daughter, a Mixed kid who came of age in the pre-and-post 9/11 era? What happens when you take their stories, add some whimsy from the 1001 Nights, and infuse them with a bit of good old post-structuralist theory? Now put all this into a blender, together with a dash of the absurd, a pinch of melodrama, some light, shadow, a projectors of course, and what do you get? Well, you get the zany, hyper-world of The Shoe Maker’s Son. Using a variety of performance techniques including story-telling and object puppetry, Amira brings to life this heart-warming tale of her father’s migration from Egypt in the 1970’s.

Performed by Amira Abdel-Malek
Directed by Timothy Gosley
Musical development by Douglas Hensley
Accompanying music by Tim Personn (of the band Grimwood)

Pepe by Malou Jacob

Tickets for this show will go on sale shortly after Witch ends its run.

Francis Matheu is the Founding Artistic Director of Twin Bill Theatre in the Philippines, and we are excited to have him work in-person at Theatre Inconnu as the director of this play: a monodrama on the events of the life and times of Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines.
Pepe “focuses on the roots of Rizal’s oppression while exploring his relationship with his family and country, always reminding the audience that although a hero, he was first and foremost an ordinary human being, an ordinary Filipino. We even share a common plight: exploitation by a foreign power” explains playwright Malou Jacob.
Made possible through a special arrangement with Jacob, Mr. Matheu will draw on his many years of professional experience in directing, teaching, and performance to create an exciting and insightful celebration of cultural identity and decolonization. Matheu is currently in Victoria completing his MFA Directing degree at the University of Victoria.
Malou Jacob is a Filipino playwright. She was a recipient of the S.E.A. Write Award. She has also been creative consultant of Communication Foundation for Asia.

Stupid Fucking Bird by Arron Posner

Tickets will go on sale shortly after Pamana Collection (Part 1) ends its run.

While remaining relatively true plot-wise to Chekhov’s late 19th century masterwork The Seagull, Posner has created an irreverent but often poignant adaptation that is at once both hilarious and heartbreaking. What is an artist? What is art? What is the point? These are the questions Posner’s characters ask themselves, ask each other, and ask (directly at times) the audience. And… when do we get to Moscow?
