ONE MAN: TWO IDENTITIES: Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Miss Kandi Kane! - a loud-mouthed drag queen, as she copes with the trials and tribulations of organizing a tribute to her Drag Mother, the Princess. Help!! What’s a girl to do when she has to cope all at once with deadlines, incompetent assistants, an unfaithful boyfriend, and a sick friend! On top of all that, how can she deal with concealing her true identity as a respected professional? Can she conceal it? Join Kandi for her often hilarious, sometimes poignant and ultimately disastrous efforts to maintain the boundary between her personal and professional lives. "... fantastic - laugh out loud funny in a terribly dark and wonderful way." Judith Thompson. |

VIVID and COMPLEX : “Mr Hayter is a writer with a wonderfully distinctive voice. The character he ha created for this solo show is vivid, compelling, complex, and utterly fascinating. The combination of drag queen and professional is surprising, and subversive – in that it holds up to the audience that what we think of as the fringe of society, and what we think of as the very centre, can be one and the same thing – human. I was touched, and entertained.” - Ross Manson, Artistic Director, VolcanoFIFTH VENTRICLE - a new Toronto theatre company exploring the dark corners of health, disease, and healing - to give a voice tothe fears, frustrations, and anger of both sufferers and healers. There are four physical ventricles in the brain - the fifth is the imagination. |
