This year’s show, by Alain-René Lesage, original translation by Joanne Miller and Laurie Steven, sees the return of founder and artistic director, Laurie Steven directing in the park for the first time since 2005. This comedic fiasco explores Turcaret, a loan shark and a tax collector, whose sly dealings catch up with him. A menagerie of cash-hungry swindlers prey on each other, exposing themselves as slaves to passion, excess, and artifice. Only the most single-minded, the most cunning, and the most charming will survive. Once again Odyssey Theatre presents a play that explores physicality, music, dance and luxurious mask, with each element contributing to bringing this spicy play to life in Odyssey’s unique style. Dates: July 24th to August 24th, Tuesday through to Sunday at 8pm. Pay-what-you-can matinees will be held Saturday and Sunday at 3pm. Location: Strathcona Park. Tickets: $9 - $24 online through OdysseyTheatre.ca, by going to Eventbrite.ca, phone at 613-232-8407, or email boxoffice@odysseytheatre.ca. Tickets will also be available at the door for $26. Tickets are also on sale for Odyssey Theatre’s youth matinees taking place on August 6th and 13th. This year’s production is Wind in the Willows by the Rag and Bone Puppet Theatre. >> Odyssey is currently looking for VOLUNTEERS to help with Front of House, including box office, concessions, ushering and general customer service!
