The Firehall Arts Centre presents a MachineFair production of This Mortal Flesh, an erotic tease by Andrew Templeton, the writer of Portia, My Love (nominated for a Jessie for Outstanding Original Script).
…MachineFair is a new Vancouver-based theatre company committed to developing original work with a focus on strong narrative and effective story-telling.
This play about profound love and delayed gratification is directed by the Jessie-nominated David Bloom (The Monument, Und).
…The cast includes multi-talented performers Tanya Marquardt and Billy Marchenski as the frustrated lovers.
Set design is by Jessie-nominated Kate King, with costumes by Nina Prelog.
…”This Mortal Flesh is a potent mix of sex, comedy and ideas,” explains Bloom. “It’s a fantasy and a parable, but at its core it is a very human story about risk and trust.
…It’s fascinating to work on an erotic two-person play where the characters can’t touch each other.
Season runs: March 13 – 21, 2009.
