"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. And Claire? Well, she's a whole other story.
Rumble returns to the Frederic Wood Theatre after 2004's co-production of K. Now with Soulless, join a cast of Vancouver's finest actors of the stage and screen—including noted Theatre at UBC Alumni—in celebrating Rumble's 15th Anniversary season and critically acclaimed work by one of the city's most treasured playwrights.
Nominated for six Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards including the Sydney Risk Prize for Outstanding Original Script, Soulless is a moving and often humourous tale of redemption at the crossroads of money, longing and contested ground.
"This show is so thrilling intellectually and aesthetically that I defy you not to be swept away by it." Colin Thomas, Georgia Straight
"Bushkowsky's finest, most moving work." Jo Ledingham, Vancouver Courier
