Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Today, I had a chance to sit down (virtually) with the grand poobah of theatre Len Falkenstein along with Zerach Kearney and Michelle Osier, two of the actors in the upcoming Theatre UNB production of Metamorphoses. We discuss this modern adaptation of the collection of classic mythical tales, doing theatre in the round, and how they have built a pool!

Metamorphoses opens on Thursday, December 2 at 7:30pm, on stage at Memorial Hall at UNB, and runs Friday and Saturday nights.

It feels like a staple at this point, but HELLO and welcome to a brand new episode of Run For Your Life.

Anyway, we have some new stuff, some “old classics” (?), and otherwise just some amazing things to spin for you to give you some shelter from the onslaught of the radio waves. Don’t worry, we don’t even parody carols here.

Enjoy the tunes. Or don’t.

Fossils – Deaf Radio
Black & Red – Reignwolf
Butcher – The Standstills
Wild Fires – The JB Conspiracy
Punk Two – Like A Motorcycle
Seven Seas – Kilmore
Stranger – Black Mastiff
In The Storm – Thera
Circles – Powder for Pigeons
