Sault Theatre Workshop performs local playwright's 'dark comedy'

Sault Theatre Workshop presents, with the Law Office of Murdoch J. Carter, the dark comedy The Last Dance of the Dark Cloaked Avenger, written and directed by R.J. Downes, a local playwright with over 20 years' experience.

As a playwright, Downes' works have been performed all across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond.

As a producer, director, and stage manager, he has worked with a broad and eclectic range of production companies in Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg and Vancouver.

This will be his first local production, a dark comedy about a death in the form of a 1940s radio play.

The main character, Arthur Warnes, wakes up to find himself inside a studio in the afterlife performing from a script written about his own murder.

Life and death ultimately collide as both the police and Arthur try to figure out who-done-it, both with the help and hindrance of the rest of the cast and crew of the radio show The Dark Cloaked Avenger Hour.

To purchase tickets, go online to www.saulttheatre.com, www.saultctc.ca, or visit the Station Mall Box Office.

STW is now accepting debit and credit if you like to purchase your tickets at the door.
