THE MONKEY QUEEN 猴媓 “Reality crosses the border with an ancient legend through the female perspective of the warrior in a fantastical landscape close to home” The Monkey Queen is an original theatre play weaving text, movement, visual and music. It is a story about female identity and empowerment through cultural and ancestral mythology. Reality crosses the border with an ancient legend from the female perspective of the warrior in a fantastical landscape close to home. This story is inspired by the mythology of the Monkey King in Wu Cheng’En’s 16th century epic - Journey to the West. The Monkey Queen is his counterpart, was born in the West and journeying East, in search of her spiritual and ancestral roots as she discovers her own meaning as a warrior. The playwright reimagines an ancient tale through her personal journey as a Chinese Canadian female artist. Playwright: Diana Tso Director: William Yong Performers: Nick Eddie and Diana Tso Music Composers: Nick Storring and Brandon Valdivia Lighting Designers: Rebecca Picherack Projection Designer: Elysha Poirier Costume Designer: Robin Fisher Scenic Designer: William Yong Choreographer: William Yong Production Manager & Set Builder: James Kendal Stage Manager: Neha Ross Publicist: Ashley Belmer Study Guide writer: Kimberley Snider Programme writer: Weijia Feng Theatre critics hailed The Monkey Queen as: “Diana Tso plays the Monkey Queen with a steely energy that is compelling. She is diminutive and fierce. She flips through the air and negotiates the levels of the set with ease. She also conveys the urgency of the Monkey Queen’s journey and determination to complete it.” “...I couldn’t help but be aware of the contrast to the diminutive dynamo of Diana Tso and the tall, graceful elegance of Nicholas Eddie...His (Eddie's) gracefulness is jaw dropping. His arms flowing back and forth behind him look like feathers floating on a breeze.” “The production is directed and choreographed by William Yong and it is wonderful...William Yong has such economy in his direction and creates such vivid images, the Shaman woman in a white shawl becoming the polar bear being one image, that you keep shaking your head in disbelief and the artistry of it all.” Lynn Slotkin – Lynn Slotkin & The Slotkin Letter (slotkinletter.com) “...a quietly subversive play...Tso and Eddie strip down their storytelling process to the bare bones of make-believe.” “William Yong’s directing and choreography serve as ballast to this universe without rules. His moves, hypnotic in their strangeness, mirror his openness to playing with abrupt transitions, longer scenes, and the difference in size between his actors to lend the work an auteur’s touch. It’s his work, coupled with the cast’s single-minded earnestness, that make The Monkey Queen a collection of memes. And I mean this as a complement, in case it needs clarifying. The numerous memorable images the duo performs are each singular in their hilarity, and none are worth ruining here.” Trevor Abes – Mooney On Theatre (mooneyontheatre.com) “...an hour of intriguing and visually exciting theatre.” “(Eddie's) interactions with Tso are fascinating...The size difference allows for some intriguing physical acting and places interesting demands on Tso’s acting.” John Gilks – Toronto Opera News and Views / Opera Ramblings (operaramblings.blog) “The Monkey Queen springs to life...is a warrior of immense strength and is equipped for speed...prances with lightness and grace, all the while telling her story.” “...more than usual willing suspension of disbelief...” Susan Walker – Susan Walker Arts Blog (susanwalkerartsblog.com) “...wondrous, enchanting, multidisciplinary...The effect is magical...this is storytelling at its fantastic, imaginative best.” “The performances are playful and brave, with a mischievous edge; sculpted with supple, powerful and expressive movement—all tempered with a sense of gravitas in the face of insight, enlightenment and penance. “From the moment you set foot in the Incubator space, you feel transported to a place outside of time and space. The haunting, otherworldly music (composers Nick Storring and Brandon Valdivia) echoes like the sound of the spheres—soothing, hypnotic and mysterious...” Cathy McKim - Life with more cowbell (lifewithmorecowbell.com) The Monkey Queen is generously supported by Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council & Canada Council for the Arts. www.redsnowcollective.ca/ Please note that this video is not in HD resolution since we have to fit in an hour long video to limitation of GB uploading limit for Vimeo.

The new thriller from Linwood Barclay coming July 28th. Promise Falls is a broken town. No jobs. No prospects. Not even a newspaper since the Standard went under. Which means reporter David Harwood is unemployed. But there are still things out there for him to look into, like how his cousin Marla has acquired a baby she swears was given to her by an angel. And what this baby has to do with a vicious murder on the other side of town. Add into the mix a a series of strange and possibly connected occurrences. A mothballed Ferris wheel coming to life. A ritualistic animal slaughter. A serial predator on the prowl at the local college. Promise Falls is slipping into darkness ...
