It’s deadline driven, insomnia fuelled creation at its best. Theatre Under the Gun, the 48-hour play creation challenge is back! This time with some social-distance-friendly changes!
The rules are the same. Six theatre companies receive an inspiration package and have 48 hours to create an original piece of theatre! But what does "theatre" look like when the performers and audiences are all isolated at home? We challenged these six groups to show us! They will have 48 hours to create and record a 10-minute play, and we'll all watch their creations together on April 21 on a live stream from Monster's YouTube channel.
Their creations will surprise, invite, enthral, terrify, provoke, and entertain you wherever you happen to be.
Hosted by Monster Theatre and co-presented by the Vancouver Fringe, Theatre Under the Gun is one of the most epic, exciting, surprising, and electric theatre events of the season.
Ticket prices are pay what you can online. We'll send you the link 24hours before showtime! You MUST "buy" a "ticket" to see the show, even if it's the $0 option!
