The Ends Of The Earth at the Sanford Meisner Theatre
Variant Theatre Company and JJL Productions presents The Ends Of The Earth, by Morris Panych, at the Sanford Meisner Theatre from the 16 - 26 Mar 2006.
The Ends Of The Earth is a dark comedy about paranoid Frank Gardener and terminally unlucky Henry Walker, two complete strangers, who are convinced that the other is out to follow him. Each man�s ill-fated attempts to evade the other brings their paths closer together, and so they embark on an increasingly surreal journey to escape their imagined doom.
Along the way, Frank and Henry each meet a variety of eccentric characters--including a drug dabbling truck driver, a gun-toting aspiring actress and a gypsy psychic--before they reach their final destination: a run down hotel on a remote island 'at the end of the earth' run by a blind woman with a murderous dislike for visitors. There, the two men ultimately collide with the one thing they�re the most afraid of...each other.
The Ends Of The Earth's cast, directed by Peter Sanfilippo, features Mary Aufman, Amy Broder, David Jacks, Leslie Loggans, Kelly Miller and Elizabeth Alice Murray.
The production has set design by Bobby Rigg and lighting by Zaheed Essack.
