The Charlottetown Festival presents The World Premiere of A MISFORTUNE
A Misfortune makes its world premiere tonight at The Charlottetown Festival. Sponsored by Key Murray Law, the bittersweet Canadian musical is playing a short run at the Centre's cabaret theatre, The Mack until Sept 22.
Adapted from a short story by Anton Chekhov, the musical starts with two old friends going for a walk in the woods. Their conversation soon takes a turn, revealing hidden depths to their relationship and forcing them to question the lives they've chosen.
"Despite being written over a hundred years ago, the play's themes are timeless," says Kevin Michael Shea, scriptwriter and musical co-creator. "We've all loved the wrong people, or not loved the right people enough."
A Misfortune promises audiences a romantic, bittersweet musical about small moments and momentous decisions. Set at a dinner party among friends, sordid secrets are revealed with every shot of vodka.
Confederation Centre will present only nine performances of A Misfortune, so get your tickets for this must-see show. Please visit: http://www.confederationcentre.com/en/show/350-A-Misfortune
The cast includes Rejean Cournoyer (Andrey), Kelsey Falconer (Sofya), Connor Lucas (Ivan), Melanie Phillipson (Masha), and Brendan Wall (Pavel).
A Misfortune is directed by Eliza-Jane Scott with music by Scott Christian and lyrics by Wade Bogert-O'Brien.
