"Under director and costume designer Emily Dix, the visual details, including millinery by David Dunkley, are generally understated but impressive...Most importantly, she generally keeps the tension taut: will someone discover what’s in the trunk?"
- Jon Kaplan, NOW Magazine
ABOUT
Inspired by true events, Patrick Hamilton’s 1929 play is an edge-of-your-seat thriller about two young men who murder a classmate in cold blood, just for the sheer “thrill of it”. The story unfolds in real-time, watching as the young men host a party with the deceased still in their apartment. A chilling look into the mind of young killers and the idea that some men deserve the “privilege” of murder. Director Emily Dix has updated this text and adapted the story for a Canadian audience in the beautiful site-specific setting of the historic Gibson House Museum. In-keeping with Bygone Theatre’s mandate and style, the show will be a beautiful period piece with authentic-styled props and costumes. Hats designed by award winning milliner David Dunkley.
"The supporting cast are excellent...the character work is outstanding...where this company dug up such marvellous and contrasting costumes is beyond me." - Mike Anderson, Mooney on Theatre

ABOUT
A Psychotronic, Hell-trip of Song, Sleaze and Revenge! A nun, doing God's work on the filthy streets of 70s New York, reunites with her beloved sister to celebrate her wedding. Their night of revelry is despoiled by two vulgar, depraved sickos. Left for dead and robbed of her sister and her voice, the Woman of God rebuilds herself as a Weapon of Hellbent Vengeance!
