The Rap Canterbury Tales

Baba Brinkman
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
www.babasword.com
Genre: Solo Performance

60 minutes
Rated: PG-13
Latecomers within 15 minutes
Disclosures: Children under twelve must be precocious to enter. No actual profanity, but some descriptions of mature subject matter

Since first appearing at the Edinburgh Festival in 2004, “The Rap Canterbury Tales” has been taking the world by storm. The show re-creates Chaucer’s 14th century classic as an edgy rap battle, bringing the raunchy stories of lust and revenge to vivid new life. Hailed as one of the must-see shows at the Edinburgh Festival (“Truly awe-inspiring … 5 Stars!” - The Scotsman), Baba Brinkman’s medieval rap classic has ignited minds and sold-out theatres across Australia, Canada, England, and even at Harvard University. The Rogue Festival hit of ‘05 is returning for another round of rudeness. Don’t miss it!

Tea With Anne

Casey Ballard
Selma, California, USA
Genre: Solo Performance

60 minutes
Rated: PG-13
Latecomers within 15 minutes
Disclosures: Teens and adults who enjoy alternate answers.
Some strong language and some anger.

The story of Shakespeare is well known; his brilliance outgrew his hometown, so he left for the glory of London. But what of his wife? How could the wife of the most famous writer be so easily forgotten? Making its United States Premiere, “Tea with Anne” explores the mentality of a woman dealing with the secrets and lies of abandonment; a woman who must ultimately chose between the painful truth and even harsher reality.
