Vol. 18 No. 1 - INTEREST. MOVE. SEDUCE.

INTEREST. MOVE. SEDUCE.
In her apartment on the thirty-third floor of a tower, a woman awaits the man who will deliver her from solitude. 
Vortex Theatre is thrilled to bring JOHN AND BEATRICE by Quebecois playwright Carole Fréchette to Vancouver audiences in both English and French November 25th to December 5th.Young heiress Beatrice (Emilie Leclerc) puts out an ad promising a substantial reward to the man who will interest, move and seduce her. In that order. John (Stefano Giulianetti), is up to the challenge.
And while the characters question, provoke and confront each other in this psychological thriller, the actors and director (Marie Farsi) have their own challenges. What does changing a language do to a character and to a play? Is it the same show? What stays the same?  Giulianetti hopes some daring audience members will see both productions and find out for themselves. For him, this experiment has been a career-long curiosity.  Since having learned French by accident when he walked into the wrong room in grade 1, he has been fascinated with languages and is excited to put himself to the test in this production.
The show runs from November 25-28 in English & December 2-5 in French at the Dusty Flower Shop, 2050 Scotia Street, Vancouver). All shows at 8pm.  Tickets through brownpapertickets.com

In French we don't say "Ninety Nine", we say "quatre vingt dix neuf" which roughly translates to "Four x Twenty +Ten + Nine", or rather "I've never heard of a functional numeric system before"

Once Upon a Time in TV land...
While details are still hush hush, rumour has it that Stefano Giulianetti has been ‘joking around’ on the set of the ABC series  ‘Once Upon a Time.’ The episode, ‘Souls of the departed’ is set to air March 2016 and is rumoured to be with the Evil Queen (played by Lana Parilla), so hopefully he plays his cards right!

No Idle Hands...
Speaking of souls; The devilishly handsome Giulianetti portrayed the prince of darkness earlier this year in the Theatre North West production of ‘The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon’. This Canadian classic written by W.O. Mitchell sees a hotly contested game of curling in the small hamlet of 'Spruce Meadows' on which the soul of the home team skip hangs in limbo.  The production, directed by Robin Nichol, included an extensive cast and creative team from all over Canada converging in Prince George, BC.
