Charlie Tomlinson to appear in Earshot His First One Man Show In Over 10 Years
c2c Theatre continues its 2008-2009 season with Morris Panych’s Earshot, from February 4th to 8th , 2009. This production is the 3rd offering in ”The Basement Series,” a 4-show partnership between c2c Theatre and the St. John’s Arts and Culture Centre.
Earshot is directed by Jordan Canning and features one of Newfoundland’s most talented stage actors, Charlie Tomlinson, in his first one-man show in over 10 years. Tomlinson portrays Doyle, a loner by both choice and circumstance who rarely leaves his run down one-room flat. Afflicted with extra sensitive hearing, he can hear the irritating clatter of one neighbour’s dentures on her fridge as they vibrate or the sensuous sound of another neighbour as she enters her bath. This cacophony of sound is his world, describing and defining his relationships with those that surround him, separated only by his the thin walls of his squalid apartment.
c2c Theatre was founded in 2003, and has produced more than 20 plays under Artistic Director Charlie Tomlinson and Associates Sandy Gow and Brad Hodder. Its mandate is to produce modern theatre from around the world, encourage the creation of new works by aspiring artists and to establish an active involvement in the local community.
Earshot runs in The Basement Theatre of the St. John’s Arts & Culture Centre at 8 PM from February 4th to 8th, 2009, with a Pay-What-You-Can matinee 2 PM on February 7th. Tickets are $20 and are available by calling 729-3900.
