Dressed as People at Red Sandcastle Theatre

A school haunted by troubled children; an encounter with the unknown on open waters; the mysterious disappearance of a friend. Three characters; three time periods; three tales of abduction and the intrusion of the uncanny into the lives of those who are taken, those who do the taking, and those who are left behind.

This solo show is a world stage premiere. Multi award-winning theatre creator Margo MacDonald teams up with multi award-winning Speculative Fiction writers A.M. Dellamonica, Amal El-Mohtar and Kelly Robson for this chilling new work.

Kelly Robson, “Skinless” In 1989, while teaching Canadian Literature at a university in Edmonton, a nun reveals her past as a young instructor at a haunted school full of troubled children in 1950s Ireland.

Amal El-Mohtar, “The Shape of My Teeth” In 1827, a woman reflects on her best friend’s mysterious disappearance in Mortimer Forest on the Welsh border. She refuses to be left behind.

A.M. Dellamonica, “Repositioning” In 2021, a seasoned entertainer on the lesbian cruise circuit grapples with memories of an encounter with the unknown in 2018 while on a Pacific Ocean repositioning cruise headed to Vancouver, B.C. from Sydney, Australia.
