The Black Rider @ Granville Island Stage

Arts Club Theatre Company, Vancouver, British Columbia



November Theatre's production is playing as part of the PUSH festival until Feb 9. Has anyone been? If you like theatre, go!

I went on Saturday and again last night for the talk-back with cast and crew. FUCKING PHENOMENAL. Probably the best stage production I have seen in years.

Take an old German folk-tale, spike it with macabre dance routines, drug and Ernest Hemningway references, circus freaks, bluesy ragtime rock music, feed it a bunch of acid and lock it in a cuckoo clock, and this is what you end up with.

Created by opera director Robert Wilson, musician Tom Waits and writer William S Burroughs, you can imagine the talent that has gone into this. I think it would appeal to Rocky Horror fans.

It's the only production of The Black Rider since the original German version that has the official blessing of Tom Waits. For anyone familiar with how strict he is about how his work is used, you would realize what a compliment that is.

I've heard nothing but stellar reviews of this so far.

Definitely going to check it out before it's done its run.

I will probably go a third time.

We'll have a gay old time
Lay down in the web of the black spider
I'll drink your blood like wine"
