Guild Festival Theatre Presents THE RED PRIEST At the Greek Theatre
An unconventional love story featuring live music, comes to the Greek Theatre this July & August.
Guild Festival Theatre presents Canadian playwright Mieko Ouchi's breakout play, The Red Priest (Eight Ways To Say Goodbye). Helmed by Co-Artistic Director Helen Juvonen, this beautiful production will play at the stunning Greek Theatre from July 28th- August 7th.
"After the success of last year's production of Salt-Water Moon, I wanted to bring another Canadian classic to Guild Park. Set in 18th century France, The Red Priest will feel right at home among the classical columns of the Greek Theatre."
- Helen Juvonen
The Red Priest is a bittersweet love story in which an enigmatic countess and Antonio Vivaldi are drawn together by a nobleman's wager. Featuring captivating music, this Governor General's Award-nominated play is a poignant variation on the themes of love, loneliness, and freedom. The two-hander is performed by a pair of actor-musicians who will play Vivaldi's virtuosic music live on stage.
Aging and desperate, Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi agrees to teach a young French noblewoman how to play the violin so that her husband can win a court bet. The delicate, complex, and combative alliance they forge will not only decide their futures but also change them both in ways they never imagined. A story about the healing power of music and the journey towards self-discovery.
