An internationally acclaimed East Coast theatre company is coming to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
Nova Scotia's 2b theatre is bringing its production of When It Rains to the Shadbolt March 19 to 22.
The production is described as "a play in the form of a live-action existential graphic novel."
"When the improbable happens, two couples are beset with misfortune, communication fractures, relationships crumble, behaviour becomes absurd," a press release says. "When a series of tragic events strike Alan, Anna, Sybil and Louis, they all react in different and sometimes surprising ways. People sing, get naked, give up, lose control, have sex with strangers. Some kind of God intervenes. Or observes. Or something. Or nothing."
Check out a trailer for the production here.
When it Rains premiered in Halifax in April 2011 and toured to the SummerWorks Festival in Toronto in August 2012, where it won the SummerWorks design award.
It's onstage at the Shadbolt at 8 p.m. March 19 to 22.
Advance tickets are $32, or $27 for students and seniors. Otherwise, they're $35 regular or $30 for students and seniors.
Wednesday night's performance is $15, and Thursday's features two-for-one tickets.
