Soulless

at Performance Works on Granville Island
"Ok. One more time. Why here? Why this crowded place caught between the mountains and the ocean? Why all this rain? These crowds? These prices? What are we doing here, running around in little groups building things that just end up leaking anyway? And who are we? Us? Yeah you." Soulless
Bob is a downtown developer with a lot on his mind. Darren is the lawyer Bob so desperately needs. Gerald has a personal interest in photography; he works for Bob, or so Bob thinks. Rachael works at a gallery and no longer finds Darren so amusing - but Bob, well that's another matter entirely. Claire? Well, being homeless can make you somewhat of an irritant. Set in present-day Vancouver, Soulless is a tale of redemption at the crossroads of money, longing and contested ground.
Soulless is directed by Norman Armour, with dramaturgy by Rachel Ditor, and features Lois Anderson, Kathleen Duborg, James Long, Stephen E. Miller and Ian Tracey. Design by Barbara Clayden, Andreas Kahre, Tim Matheson, Stefan Smulovitz and John Webber. Stage management by Joanne P. B. Smith. The production team of Soulless is joined by Studio 58 students Kris Nelson (assistant director) and Raelynne Gagnon (assistant stage manager). A See Seven show.
"Bushkowsky delights in the comic possibilities of misfiring language, in conversations that stumble comically as if the dancers have forgotten the dance." Globe and Mail
