CANON IN D MINOR has been selected for the Fringe Encores Series following its New York premiere in the New York International Fringe Festival. Out of the 187 productions in this year’s festival, CANON IN D MINOR is one of just 19 chosen for the series. The production will run at SoHo Playhouse for an additional five performances beginning Sept 15th.
CANON IN D MINOR stars Eryn Murman (Broadway’s Spring Awakening), Suzy Jane Hunt (Stratford Shakespeare Festival's Twelfth Night), and Brittany Parker (St. Ann's Warehouse's Stop the Virgens). Two violinists complete the ensemble.
“The three actors, Suzy Jane Hurt, Eryn Murman, and Brittany Parker brilliantly navigate the stage with precise, purposeful, and intelligent choreographed movement. They are directed, conducted, and inspired by Rachel Slaven who deftly exposes the profound and sensitive work written by Jessica Liadsky….. engaging our minds, touching our hearts and reminding us how powerful the experience of the theatre can be.” - Theatre Reviews Limited
CANON IN D MINOR is a gripping, poetic new play with music. After her best friend takes her own life in their final year of school, Beth searches for a way to forgive herself for what she might have done to prevent it. She glides the bow of her violin through the music that connected them in this tender and stirring story of friendship and forgiveness.
The 2012 FringeNYC production marked the play’s New York premiere. The play originally premiered in Toronto’s SummerWorks Theatre Festival. CANON IN D MINOR is written by Toronto based playwright/actor and LAMDA graduate Jessica Liadsky. This production is directed by Rachel Slaven (assistant director to Daniel Sullivan on Broadway’s The Columnist, Good People, Accent on Broadway, assistant director of Jersey Boys second national tour and Des McAnuff’s Twelfth Night at Stratford Shakespeare Festival). The play is produced by Emily Hammond (Assistant to the Executive Producer, Barry Grove, at Manhattan Theatre Club). Lighting design is by Amanda Clegg Lyon, sound design is by David Corsello.
CANON IN D MINOR will be presented at SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam Street, NY, NY 10013). The performance schedule is as follows: Saturday 9/15 @ 8pm, Saturday September 22 at 8 p.m., Thursday September 27 at 7 p.m., Saturday September 29 at 5 p.m., Saturday September 30 at 5 p.m.
