Wanna dance?

As part of this years festival, we have a contingent from Newfoundland producing a show at The Factory Theatre... if you are trying to fill your dance card at this years festival, add this one... here are the nuts and bolts:

Don’t miss Joel Thomas Hynes in a compelling performance of Say Nothing Saw Wood, a morally complex tale of murder and redemption. Fresh out of prison, thirty-year-old Jude Traynor spins a gothic tale of a brutal murder he committed at the age of seventeen. He’s now making his way back to his hometown to come to terms with the life he’s taken, the lives he’s altered and hopefully to extend a hand to the troubled youth he once was.

Say Nothing Saw Wood originally premiered in St. John’s, NL to sold-out audiences in 2007. Say Nothing Saw Wood is a one-man play inspired by a real-life murder that occurred on the Southern Shore of Newfoundland and Labrador in the early seventies. Playing in Toronto as part of the SummerWorks Theatre Festival at the Factory Theatre Mainstage:
