SUMMARY:Intrepid
DESCRIPTION:“No one knows of your secret visits here. You are like the invisible man.” – Winston Churchill\n“I like to keep things quiet. I’m Canadian.” – William Stephenson \nAn action-packed spy thriller recounting one of Winnipeg’s greatest heroes\, William Stephenson\, who became Churchill’s spymaster and the inspiration for James Bond. It’s 1940 and the fate of the free world depends on a nearly impossible plan to trick the United States into joining World War II and stopping Nazi plans for world domination. \nEmploying espionage\, propaganda and the ageless art of seduction from atop Rockefeller Center in New York\, Stephenson schemes to manipulate Roosevelt\, destroy the Nazis’ nuclear ambitions\, and assassinate the German intelligence chief Reinhard Heydrich aka ‘The Man with the Iron Heart’. \nInspired by true events\, Alex Poch-Goldin weaves 1940s song and dance into an electrifying tale of intrigue\, danger and double-crossing.

SUMMARY:Misery
DESCRIPTION:“A funhouse ride of horror and humour” – Calgary Herald \nWhen famous author Paul Sheldon regains consciousness following a car wreck\, he’s bedridden in an isolated home. By a stroke of luck\, the woman who saved him is both a nurse and his “number one fan”. But soon\, Annie’s mild-mannered veneer wears thin\, and Paul realizes his fate is tied to a woman who is obsessively plotting to keep him to herself. \nAs only he can do\, Stephen King builds chilling tension as Annie’s escalating demands threaten to send Paul hurtling toward an unhappy ending. The 1990 film version of Misery introduced a generation to Annie Wilkes. Today\, she returns to a society just as obsessed with our heroes. Turns out\, misery does love company. \nMisery will also visit communities throughout Manitoba and Ontario as Royal MTC’s Regional Tour.

SUMMARY:Fifteen Dogs
DESCRIPTION:“A must-see\, even for cat people” – Toronto Star \nOver drinks at a local watering hole\, Greek gods Apollo and Hermes wager that any animal would die unhappy if granted human intelligence. For their experiment\, they choose man’s best friend – fifteen of them. After “the change”\, the dogs marvel at their gift of language and revel in their newfound mindfulness. But curiosity turns to unrest when clashes over status\, freedom and conformity threaten the pack. \nAs the gods meddle from above\, the dogs wrestle with the complications of their new world order\, often with devastating\, and sometimes hilarious consequences. Will they roll over and accept their fate or stay true to their natural instincts? \nSit\, stay and treat yourself to this modern-day fable\, based on André Alexis’s global bestselling novel.

SUMMARY:Waiting for Godot
DESCRIPTION:A dystopian Laurel and Hardy” – The Guardian \nIs it possible that two seemingly homeless men represent all of humanity as they wait for someone – or something – to give their lives meaning? As Vladimir and Estragon wait for the mysterious “Godot”\, they banter about minor complaints like the tightness of their boots\, to major questions like the meaning of existence. Torn between hope and uncertainty\, this hapless pair hosts an array of strange visitors while dutifully waiting for their promised salvation. \nDeeply influential and iconically enigmatic\, Samuel Beckett’s comic\, absurdist masterpiece asks the simple yet profound question\, “What are we doing here?” Today\, Vladimir might be talking to us when he reassures his pal\, “Tomorrow\, everything will be better.” \nRoyal MTC is thrilled to stage one of the most significant plays of the 20th century with this revival of Shakespeare in the Ruins’ brilliant production. Indoors\, this time!

SUMMARY:fareWel
DESCRIPTION:“We’re only going to have one chance at self-government. If we’re lucky.” – Robert\n“And when have we ever been lucky?” – Rachel \nThere’s a cry for change on Partridge Crop Reserve. The welfare cheques are late – if they’re coming at all – the Chief is pushing his luck in Vegas (again) and a restless desperation has led to rumblings of self-government. There’s a lot at stake and establishing a new system without real change feels like building a house on a crumbling foundation. Can this spirited group of ordinary Joes ditch the fareWel for good and take control of their lives? \nCrackling with Ian Ross’s trademark wit and warmth\, this dark comedy about life and politics on a Reserve was awarded the 1997 Governor General’s Award for Drama. \nPlease note: the nickname of the character Sheldon is being revised by Julia Ross for this and future productions.
