THE WHITE CROCODILE: Three short plays by Laurie Fyffe.

In “Dammed”, an expert trying to warn of an impending climate-induced catastrophe runs into bureaucratic denial and patronizing solicitude. After all, we don’t want to cause a panic now, do we? A savage dark comedy, featuring David Frisch and Kelsey Rideout (“The Supine Cobbler”, GCTC).
“I Am Oil” features contemporary dance artist Chelsea Passmore (“Exciting Cause”, TACTICS) in a seductive interpretation of our love affair with fossil fuels.
In “The White Crocodile”, evocative interwoven narratives paint a portrait of one woman – played by three actors – at three different times in her life, and her awakening to the realities of lives touched by war, dislocation and genocide. Featuring Élise Gauthier, Kelsey Rideout and Kenney Vandelinde. Plan B Productions (“#faustus”, “2084”, “The Proposal & The Ring”) reunites with Laurie Fyffe, author of “Beowulf in Afghanistan”, upcoming at GCTC. Directed by William Beddoe. Design by Andrew Alexander & Graham Price.
