Great Canadian Theatre Company

A conversation with GCTC online playwright-in-residence Vishesh Abeyratne.

The Carleton County Law Association and the Great Canadian Theatre Company are performing their annual Lawyer Play, this time with an “old-timey” radio format. The play runs from May 31–June 11.

Eric Coates: “The minute that GCTC welcomes people back inside, and everyone’s abuzz with excitement to be back and to meet the new artistic director, I will be there to celebrate and to say thank you one more time. In person.”

If you didn’t catch the sold-out-run at the Ottawa Fringe Festival in 2015, you’ve finally got another chance!

GCTC currently has two playwrights in residence: Vishesh Abeyratne and Sanita Fejzić. In this first of a two-part series, Artistic Director Eric Coates reflects on the conversations he is having with Sanita.

Ryan Pepper: “One question this show raises is: why does it have to be performed by two people? And more importantly, why couldn’t it just have been an Inuit show? The answer to that actually lies in the show.”

Colin Noden: As the last scene faded to black, I heard a man behind me say “Are they going to leave us with that?”

We’ve found ourselves at the end of another rollercoaster week, and nothing warms the spirits (or your hands) like a jam packed weekend of events, shows, and laid back hangs with your nearest and dearest.

Colin Noden: “You won’t be surprised by the melodramatic beginning. But that’s the end of the play’s predictability.”
