The Manitoba Theatre Centre is ready to make waves with The Blonde, the Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead, the hit one-woman play by Australian playwright Robert Hewett, on at the John Hirsch Theatre at the MTC Mainstage from February 5 to 28, 2009.
The Blonde, the Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead is a seven-sided love triangle that doesn't reveal all its secrets until the final curtain. Everyone has their own story to tell about the day a deserted wife and mother went berserk in the shopping mall. Life in a quiet neighbourhood is turned upside down when the lives of friends and strangers are woven together, and then abruptly torn apart. Nothing is as it seems on the surface in this poignant look at the consequences of love, betrayal and revenge.
Starring Kelli Fox, MTC's production of The Blonde, the Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead is helmed by Director Alisa Palmer. The creative team also includes Set and Costume Designer Michael Gianfrancesco, Lighting Designer Kevin Fraser, Composer/Sound Designer John Gzowski, Stage Manager Chris Pearce and Apprentice Stage Manager Heather Lee Brereton.
Ticket prices for The Blonde, the Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead range from $21.00 to $61.00. Students with valid high school ID receive 50% off single ticket adult prices for all performances.
