The SOAP Theatre presents:
Since You Left Us
When: 7:30pm-9:45pm
Where: Frank Venables Theatres
About: There’s dysfunctional and there’s really, really dysfunctional. The family in Since You Left Us is one of the latter: shot through with alcoholism, bad parenting, sibling rivalry and unhealthy co-dependency (with a Jack Russell Terrier named…Jack).
Since You Left Us is laugh-out-loud funny until the end when something is revealed that suddenly makes the play profoundly poignant. Since You Left Us has all the hallmarks of a farce, complete with its over-the-top characters and the ridiculous situations they find themselves in. Vancouver playwright Susinn McFarlen shows her ample skills by giving us so much more than a simple silly romp.
