​MURDER HE WROTE
The Villians of
Charles Dickens
JUNE 4th 2022
4:30 pm & 7:30pm

Master thespian John Huston guides us through tales of bloody deeds in his one man play, Murder He Wrote, a riveting mashup of Charles Dickens stories over an hour at the Tett Centre. Whether or not you’re a fan of the English novelists’ often florid writing style, you’ll be captivated by Huston’s grand and gleeful storytelling as he switches between several characters hurtling towards dark destinies. Among them are the feral, coarse Fagin, who sends his henchman Bill Sikes off to murder Sikes’ lover, Nancy, and the aptly named Captain Murderer, he of the file-sharpened teeth and propensity for cannibalism. There are sympathetic roles, of course, like the benevolent Rose Maylie and Mr. Brownlow, but most of the action centres around the villains.

UNCURATED, UNCENSORED, UNBORING, UNEXPECTED

Everyone is the sum total of past experiences. A character doesn't just spring to life at age 30. - Kelley Armstrong

And neither does a Theatre Company – Rosemary Doyle, Artist Director, Theatre Kingston

​

These intertwining voices will shock and delight you with each of their takes on this place that we call home. Starring an all Kingston Cast: Selina Charelli, Johnny Jordon, Anne-Sophie Grenier, Ryan Clement, Tim Fort, Abigail Wolfe and Helen Bretzke.

THE SYLVIA EFFECT is written and directed by Peter Hinton. Using Sylvia Plath and her poems as inspiration, this play speaks to the emotional confessions of four characters simply named: The Daughter, The Poet, The Mother, and The Son.
"Sylvia Plath became famous, partly because of the manner of her death. But as often the case with artistic success it was also a case of timing. Writing against time. This relationship to time, makes her an ideal subject for the theatre. The challenge for me is to get past the tragic story to whatever core of experience or truth might wait on the other side.  Starring Katherine Gauthier, Ben Sanders, Margaret LaMarre and Rosemary Doyle.  Baby Grand Oct 27 - Nov 14 2021

THESE DEEDS - A thriller written and directed by Craig Walker, Starring Thom Marriot as Bram Stoker, Jacob James as Buffalo Bill Cody, and Richard Sheridan Willis as Henry Irving presented as a stage reading at the Tett Centre Rehearsal Hall. November 21th, 2pm.

MERCY by Drew Carnwath, Directed by Rosemary Doyle and Starring Helen Bretzke and Tracey Guptill, Designed by Clelia Scala will be Theatre KIngston's second World Premier of the Season. A high powered Lawyer meeting with a high paid sexworker.  If Mercy is ‘about’ anything, it is about performance and role-playing – in court, in bed, and on stage. It is only when we stop the role-playing, put down the masks and the armour, that we can truly see ourselves in others. To admit to weakness is the ultimate show of strength – except it is no ‘show’ at all: it’s us at our most authentic. This is MERCY.
 In an out-of-the-way dive bar, Jordan meets with Katherine to hire her to seduce Jordan's Husband. What unfolds is an explosive play about power and class, sex and betrayal, compromise and redemption. Exciting twists, multiple deceptions, this is a power game of cat-and-mouse. But who's the cat and who's the mouse? MERCY proves once again that our vulnerabilities not only define us, but occasionally save us.  Baby Grand March 10 - March 26 2022

MURDER HE WROTE - by John D Huston Charles Dickens is back, but instead of Scrooge he'll be thrilling us with his villians and cutthroats in a victorian mashup for the century. Huston pivots quickly between these indelible characters by turns sardonic, malevolent, quivering and pop-eyed with horror, his smile a shark’s smile. It’s a simple staging, Huston standing at a modified lectern wearing an old fashioned tuxedo, but his delivery is worth the cost of admission twice over.

THE TK  FRINGE promises to be the glorious creation of the companies that join us! Two weeks of Theatre Chaos in the best way possible. Maybe you want to be part of it? AUG 4 - 14 2022  Uncurated, Uncensored, Unboring. 

Theatre Kingston acknowledges the privilege it has to be working, playing, and creating on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee Territory. By acknowledging the land, we also acknowledge the history of European colonizers who took this land through cruel means and the harsh treatment instigated on the Indigenous people and their culture.
