A late addition to the Arden Theatre season is Ballet Jörgen's
Anastasia. Choreographer Bengt Jörgen explores the desires, dreams and affections of Anastasia, the daughter of the dethroned Tsar Nicholas of Russia.
From glittery St. Petersburg ballrooms and the gritty Russian revolution to captivity and more isolation, the mystery of what happened to the 17-year-old duchess has haunted people for more than a century.
Anastasia will be performed at the Arden Theatre on Thursday, March 15, 2018. Tickets are $68 for adults and $55 for children/students. Call 780-459-1542 or at http://www.ticketmaster.ca
Constellations
John Hudson, artistic director of Shadow Theatre, launches the season with British playwright Nick Payne's
Constellations.
Helmed by Amy DeFelice, one of Edmonton's most nuanced directors,
Constellations is a play-by-play that adapts the idea of a parallel universe.
Payne imagines a beekeeper named Roland and a Cambridge physicist named Marianne meeting on numerous occasions at different interludes in their lives.
Starring in this romantic two-hander are Mat Busby and Liana Shannon.
Constellations runs Oct. 25 to Nov. 12 at the Varscona Theatre. Tickets are $22 to $37. Saturday matinee is pay-what-you-can and Tuesday is two-for-the price-of-one. Call 780-434-5564 or
