The 3rd annual Silent Summer Nights featured three fantastic evenings of the best in silent (and not so silent) film. Park your blanket under the stars and enjoy cinema’s “Great Adventures,” with original live musical accompaniment by Stefan Smulovitz’s brilliant Eye of Newt ensemble, The Ron Samworth Quartet and the SSN Monster Orchestra.

THE RAILRODDER (1965) & ASHIK KERIB (THE LOVELORN MINSTREL, 1988)

Screening: Friday, August 29

Buster Keaton does Canada in a one-man train car. The Railrodder is an endless series of inspired sight gags showing that the aging master could still cut it. Then travel east for Ashik Kerib – the suitor of a merchant’s daughter is spurned by her father and forced to roam the world for a thousand and one nights. Mesmerizing cinematic poetry. Featuring The Ron Samworth Quartet.

THE BLUE PLANET – THE DEEP (2001) & LE PEUPLE DE L’HERBE (MICROCOSMOS, 1996)

Screening: Saturday, August 30

Come on in, the water’s fine. The Blue Planet – The Deep will take you a thousand metres down to a marine twilight zone that covers over half the Earth’s surface. Emerge to dry land for Le peuple de l’herbe. Close-ups, slow motion and time-lapse photography capture the trials and tribulations of the insect world in all its glory. Suitable for entomologists of all ages. Featuring Eye of Newt.

JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963)

Screening: Sunday, August 31

A weekend of Great Adventures wouldn’t be complete without something Greek. The legendary hero leads a team of intrepid adventurers on a perilous quest for the treasured Golden Fleece. With guest conductor Coat Cooke and SSN Monster Orchestra.

The Young & The Restless: Then She

Set in present day Vancouver, Then She tells the story of a husband and wife who must come to grips with the disappearance and possible murder of their daughter, and the subsequent impact it has on their relationship with those around them, and to each other. Conversations between characters are replayed over and over again. Multiple strains of dialogue are intertwined together to create a disorientated state that gives expression to the nightmarish world these characters have been plunged into. The lines between reality, fantasy and memory blur as the playwright weaves together a play that examines loss, love, and the outer regions of justice and personal civility.

The Young & The Restless: Snowman

info@rumble.org — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 20:20:59 +0000

Snowman is a darkly comic journey into a frozen, emotionally-barren landscape of ice and snow. Set in a remote community at the edge of a glacial sheet, the play is a psychological investigation into the lives of four characters struggling with issues of isolation and identity. Told in a series of interwoven monologues, the story delves into the lives of a young couple in their 30s and their teenage friend, as they eek out a marginal existence – cutting wood, watching porn, building snowmen. Cut off from society (and from themselves) they are all stuck in their own isolating existence.

The production earned six Jessie Richardson Theatre Award nominations, winning in the category of Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role (Derek Metz)
