INTERVIEW #3
– HIDEOUS MAN ‘B47’
“Heh heh. So then what happened?”

INTERVIEW #36
— HIDEOUS MAN ‘D41’
“I saw that she would forever go on playing victim to my villain. I was powerless to change her. She was not the part of the problem I could, you know, address. So I made a decision. To get help for me.”

INTERVIEW #40
— HIDEOUS MAN ‘B14’
“It’s the arm. You wouldn’t think of it as a asset like that would you. But it’s the arm. You want to see it? You won’t get disgusted? Well here it is. Here’s the arm. This is why I go by the name Johnny One-Arm. I made it up, not anybody being, like, hardhearted — me.”

NSTC SHOWS / ROLES

SHADOW SHOWS / ROLES
(In development)

Michael Holmes-Lauder has played with Nasty Shadows a number of times over the years, lending his considerable multifarious talents both on/off-stage. Some behind-the-scenes work by Michael helped make these shows possible: This Is A Play, Here Lies Henry, Play, having begun his Nasty work with 2008’s productions of House and The Dumb Waiter. On stage, Michael was see in the spring 2009 production of Orestes 2.1 as the title character, and was part of the cast that helped create Scott Shannon‘s The Table Experiments in spring 2011. Some other highlights of his theatrical career include work with Theatre UNB, TNB, Saint John Shakespeare, Bard in the Barracks, NBActs, and others. Last fall Michael assaulted audiences with his ‘Ariel’ in Rougher Magic: A cubist Shakespeare, and this Movember he’ll once again be prying into the minds of the audience in the adaptation of Brief Interviews With Hideous Men. Michael has proven to be an invaluable Shadow in all the theatrically Nasty areas you can imagine — the Company is lucky to exploit his talents.
