Description
Fragments from the Big Piece is a non-linear, stylized play inspired by "eastern bloc" film noir. While exploring the dark underbelly of the drug trade, the play simultaneously tells the story of a man and a woman's crumbling relationship.
Praise for Fragments from the Big Piece:
"A teasing game of metaphysical join-the-dots in a style that recalls Kafka, George F. Walker, David Mamet, and the movie Brazil." (Books in Canada)
"If novelist Thomas Pynchon wrote for the theatre, he might write something like this. It's complex, confusing and fascinating. . ." (Laura Busheikin, The Vancouver Echo)
"Fragments from the Big Piece addresses some big intriguing issues - and attempts to do it in a new theatrical style." (Max Wyman, Vancouver Province)
