Theatre has the amazing capability of capturing a single moment — and then stretching it out in impossible ways.
My guests today are Len Falkenstein, “the theatre guy” at UNB and two of his students and actors, Aaron and Alex, from the upcoming closing performance of Theatre UNB’s season: 7 Stories. The story revolves around the single moment of A Man standing on the edge of a ledge on a building — and the other stories which swallow him up in that moment. We talk about the challenges of a plant poised on a moment without movement, of playing multiple characters, and hear a part of one of the scenes.
Music today:
- I was feeling like a bit of classic style was in order, and Roxy and the Underground Soul Sound immediately came to mind. Were heard Puppet from Don’t You Know?.
- On an album with more classic style, I played the least classic song! From Basia Bulat‘s album Good Advice, we heard Infamous.
- And because I can’t resist a pun, we ended the hour with Out Through The Window by Tomato Tomato from their album So It Goes.
