Get your Goth on at The Fringe! Loosely based on the insect-eating madman from Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” Renfield sits in his cell at the asylum, awaiting the arrival of his “Master” from Transylvania. Told at times from the point-of-view of the insects he has eaten, Renfield’s troubled past is finally revealed. Bizarre, poetic and moving. Stripped of locality and time period, the piece is ultimately a condemnation of those who wield power over the powerless. Not Kansas is a company devoted to out-of-the-ordinary text and physical-based performance. “The real pleasure is in the language and its melodic deliverance.” —Montreal Theatre Hub “Bram Stoker would’ve loved this show…Zag Dorison’s bravura performance…” —Westmountmag.ca
