Electric Company Theatre Presents the World Premiere of THE FULL LIGHT OF DAY

Electric Company Theatre presents the world premiere of Daniel Brooks' groundbreaking new work, The Full Light of Day, directed by Kim Collier, from January 7-12, 2019 at the Vancouver Playhouse.

In this modern allegory, a terminally ill woman confronts the choices that bought her family privilege, and with bravery, takes a risk to secure their ultimate redemption.

This provocative hybrid of theatre and film unites an A-List cast of Canada's most luminary and award-winning talents: Jim Mezon, Gabrielle Rose, Jillian Fargey, Dean Paul Gibson, John Ng, Jenny Young, Jonathon Young, among others.

Through 14 live-streaming cameras, state-of-the-art projections and film, The Full Light of Day immerses audiences in rich cinematic cityscapes, intimate inner lives, and invites them to reimagine the limitations of live theatre.

The Full Light of Day marks the return of large-scale theatre to Vancouver Playhouse. Since the closure of the venue's titular company in 2012, after 50 years of operation, the venue has not played regular host to dramatic works of this scope and size. Electric Company Theatre's intention is to address this in future years by re-animating the space with annual productions.

Complementing the stage work, company Co-Founder Kevin Kerr has created a collection of short films shot in 360° Virtual Reality. The works can be viewed separately from the theatre production or experienced at special installations located throughout the Vancouver Playhouse lobby.
