Edmonton’s Citadel ambitiously explores precision timing in two new synchronized political plays GlobeArts
– world premieres which opened at the exact same time last week at Edmonton’s Citadel Theatre. They are as ambitious and complex a theatrical endeavour as you could imagine, with precision timing as a critical element. They also present a story about a political competition between a male and female candidate at a moment when another such political rivalry is very much on the minds of Albertans.
Citadel artistic director Daryl Cloran was inspired to stage two connected plays simultaneously after reading Alan Ayckbourn’s– two plays that tell two sides of the same story in two separate theatres at the same time. Cloran went to Toronto-based playwright Kat Sandler with the idea and she was crazy enough – his phrasing – to agree to the challenge.What they came up with is wild.
“I keep saying that there’s a lot of math involved and there’s also a lot of magic,” Cloran told The Globe and Mail, ahead of opening night last week.is set at a political fundraiser/birthday party for a rich old guy, Jebediah Buchanan , who will decide that night who to crown the leader of the Left party .
