A Cultch Benefit with
Ronnie Burkett
Spend an evening with one of Canada’s foremost theatre artists, Ronnie Burkett, as he offers a reading of his newest work Penny Plain in this fundraiser for The Cultch. Burkett has been credited with creating some of the world’s most elaborate and provocative puppetry. His work has stimulated an unprecedented adult audience for puppet theatre, continuously playing to great critical and public acclaim on Canada’s major stages and at international theatre festivals. Ronnie is known to Cultch audiences for the now-retired Billy Twinkle, Requiem For a Golden Boy, 10 Days on Earth, Provenance and the “Memory Dress Trilogy” of Tinka’s New Dress, Street of Blood and Happy.
Ronnie’s next production,
Penny Plain, is set to premiere in the Fall of 2011, marking the 25th anniversary of Theatre of Marionettes.
About Penny Plain
Penny Plain is blind, but she hears plenty about the state of things, so she decides to sit and wait for the world to end. When her companion dog Geoffrey leaves to live as a man, Penny’s end-of-days vigil is interrupted by survivalists, a serial killer, a cross-dressing banker, talking dogs and mysterious strangers seeking sanctuary as Mother Earth cleans house and reclaims her ground.
