Nasty Shadows Theatre Company presents

An Evening with JONES is our Nasty creation celebrating the life and spirit of a Shadow who stepped into the light, our friend Andrew Jones.

~ TALES from ‘THE GREAT SECLUSION’ MYTH ~

A STORY JONES
In memory of an Unseen Shadow

JONES is a storyteller, telling tales to a small friendly community in a world hungry for such gatherings, but tonight might be his last story. VIC has been selflessly caring for JONES, protecting JONES from outsiders when CHAEL suddenly (re-)appears (?) in the story circle. Driven by forces beyond and within their control, CHAEL’s dramatic purpose in the room precipitates the most inevitable conclusion, or so it seemed to suggest in the BOOK.

The development of A STORY JONES began with an idea in the spring of 2013. As the writing grew it was played off a number of veteran Shadows in various rehearsal rooms over a number of years and staged a 3-character version of the play in 2019. After revisiting the script, we’re now staging the 4-character version of the play as it was originally conceived and developed. This is not a history; this is a fantasy story memorial.

CAST:

• VIV — Rebekah Chassé
• LIV — Mary Walker
• CHAEL — Josh Burke
• JONES — Michael Holmes-Lauder

FUNDY FRINGE FESTIVAL 2022
**OUTSTANDING SOLO SHOW**

X is back in another Solo-Shadow-Session but instead of offering a Confessional, this time he’s preparing to share some bad news and hoping the audience can help him practice the sad saga he has to share with the Other Shadows. Join X for this theatrical Eulogy to a Storyteller, a Tale of Woe he has to weave to soothe the sorrow.

X is here; You are not
