Screaming Flea Theatre is pleased to announce its upcoming production of Normand Chaurette’s FRAGMENTS OF A FAREWELL LETTER READ BY GEOLOGISTS. A Governor General’s Award nominee and winner of the Prix de l’Association quebecoise des critiques de theatre for Best Play in 1988, Fragments tells the story of the aftermath of a tragic geological expedition in Cambodia. At a public inquiry into the death of the expedition’s leader, the search for answers and facts are quickly revealed to be at odds with the ephemeral nature of memory and, more frighteningly, a fierce reluctance to personal culpability. This Screaming Flea production will be produced in a site-specific setting – a policy room in SFU’s Harbour Centre – in order to heighten the immediacy of an already timely play.
Screaming Flea’s production of Fragments of a Farewell Letter Read by Geologists will be directed by Mallory Catlett, whose direction of the Flea’s 2003 show This Room is Moving helped garner that production’s 5 Jessie nominations. The cast includes Flea ensemble members Heather Lindsay, Billy Marchenski, Paulo Ribeiro and Derek Whidden, as well as accomplished local actors David Bloom, Tyler McLendon, and Ronin Wong. DD Kugler, who worked on the the original 1992 English language production is our production dramaturg. Olivia Delachanal joins the production team as Assistant Director.
