A Blue Circle Series performance
Written and performed by Lucas Myers

DECK examines the fine line between perfectionism and obsession, chaos and freedom and why a piece of 2x6 lumber isn�t really two inches by six inches. Not even close. DECK stars Cliv, a meticulous single parent of two who has been forced to reassess his future after taking major losses in the recent recession. He embraces a new start as a small town, eco-conscious, back-to-the-lander. His attempts at self-sufficiency are hijacked by a bad house buy and he is forced to try his hand at home improvement. Enter Corey, the charismatic carpenter who takes Cliv under his wing and offers to lend a hand. As Cliv is drawn into Corey�s world of free-wheeling free living, Cliv begins to lose his grasp on reality and is consumed by suspicions of Corey�s true motives. DECK is a darkly hilarious take on the modern milieu of a small town, semi-urban environment.

"Myers is brilliant!" - The Globe and Mail

"Deck is funny, quirky and full of heart. Myers brings his own unique and original personal style of storytelling to the city boy in the country fable. Deck offers shades of the Wingfield series with idiosyncratic characters and good feelings." - Ian Case, Intrepid Theatre

"Lucas Myers is the Swiss Army Knife of comedic theatre. His performances are consistently imaginative, endearing and hilarious. An audience favorite!" - Neil Harrower, Capitol Theatre
