……………………..

This undoing story could begin, at the moment Prudence realizes the trouble she’s in
or the moment with the burning water, or the moment when the devil caught her
or the moment when the clocks all stopped, or the moment when the midwife dropped
the babe Prudencia into the arms of a mother, who obviously preferred her older brother…

Pull up a chair and wet your whistle for an evening of anarchic theatre and live music at East Vancouver’s own WISE Hall. The perfect winter-warmer, be swept along on Prudencia’s enchanting dreamlike journey of self discovery, filled with magical moments, devilish encounters, and wittily wild karaoke.

The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, told entirely in rhyming couplets, takes theatre into pubs and other unlikely venues, where stories are told, re-told, sung and passed on. So now is the time to share a lock-in with the National Theatre of Scotland’s company of actors and musicians. Indulge in an evening of supernatural storytelling, music and theatre inspired by the Border Ballads, Robert Burns and the poems of Robert Service.

The National Theatre of Scotland challenges convention and celebrates imagination by bringing theatre wherever they can connect with an audience—be it in airports and high-rises, forests and ferries, drill halls and football pitches, pubs and factories.
