Welcome
from our
new Producer Denyse Karn!
I
am delighted to welcome
you to our 2010-11 season and to introduce
myself to you. My name is Denyse Karn and I am the new Producer/General
Manager at Nightwood Theatre. I began my theatre career at Nightwood 25
years ago designing the first production of Good
Night Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet by Ann-Marie
MacDonald, participating in one of the first Groundswell
Festivals and performing at FemCab.
Since then I have been working as a producer, designer and actor across
the country and am so excited to have found my way back to my roots. I
am one of the women that our vision speaks of, Nightwood truly
propelled me and brought me to the top of my craft in Canadian Theatre!This season I am also designing our first production, The List by Jennifer Tremblay. With rehearsals about to start, I couldn't be more thrilled to share this remarkable work, performed by Allegra Fulton and directed by our amazing Artistic Director, KellyThornton. Please join us at the theatre!
WHAT’S ON YOUR LIST?"Real happiness consists in not what we actually accomplish, but what we think we accomplish.”
Charles Green Shaw, abstract artist

Nightwood is pleased to welcome Yael Farber as our Canada Council playwright-in-residence. She will be working throughout the year on a new work titled NAMUS: Honor Killings at Aulis. This radical adaption of Euripides Iphigenia at Aulis is a potent exploration of the chilling phenomenon of honour killings.
“Using the ancient story of Iphigenia's death at the hands of her father Agamemnon, to view the widely practiced and tacitly condoned act of "honor killings" may bring to greater light the extraordinary silence of our world in the face of the on-going violence against the Body Feminine - as well as how this practice manifests in subtler forms in societies that believe themselves to be above such conduct".
