Terrible but Incomplete Journals of John D.
June 4 – 14, 1998
Performance Works, Granville Island
by Guillermo Verdecchia

Written by Governor General’s Award-winning author Guillermo Verdecchia (Fronteras Americanas), The terrible but incomplete journals of John D. is a melancholy, funny, and musical look at the multifarious strains of a deception. A “regular, straight, white, fin-de-siecle kind of guy”, a woman known only as M., and a cello are the central elements of this chamber piece built around the curmudgeonly introspections of the reluctant, quasi-EveryMan, John D. The terrible but incomplete journals of John D. is an invitation to listen, reflect, judge and maybe, just maybe, forgive.
