]]> A woman paces a stretch of now threadbare carpet. The voice of her mother — real or imagined — hangs in the air. Footfalls is a glimpse into a ghostly, spiritual halfway house illuminated briefly by the interplay of time, shadow and light. Pure Beckett. Pure theatre. Pure poetry.

Fiction wrestles with history, sexuality collides with cultural politics, and nations struggle for power in the story of one couple’s jockeying for position on their west-coast futon.

]]> “[a] fierce and angry play, a diatribe against the destruction of a nation.” – Peter Birnie, Vancouver Sun

Part Greek tragedy, part black (Canuck) comedy, Vancouverites readily appreciated an allegory of the struggle to preserve cultural identity from the onslaught of our neighbours to the South.

Catalyst’s production won a prestigious Edinburgh Fringe First in 1999, and toured western Canada before returning to the U.K. in March. Written and directed by Jonathan Christensen and Joey Tremblay, The House of Pootsie Plunket is a weird and wonderful journey to the north. Pootsie and her baby brother Kirbus are trying to save their family heritage from being destroyed by their mother and her sleazy southern boyfriend. Inspired by by the story of Electra, this adult fairy tale is darkly funny, moving and magical, and has been described as a cross between Greek tragedy and Fargo.
