Product Information
From acclaimed playwright Karen Hines come two darkly comic meditations on security, safety, and shelter. Crawlspace is a comic, Kafkaesque monologue about the darker side of home ownership that moves past 'cautionary' as it snakes through the brutal battleground of Toronto real estate, decorative twig orbs, and the state of the human soul. All the Little Animals I Have Eaten explores questions surrounding existence, death, and salvation through the perspectives of one sleep-deprived young woman, the ghosts of brilliant authors, some well-heeled professionals, meth-curious lambs, a puppet in a beatnik onesie, tiny vertebrates, glowing arthropods, and other unexpected voices. Praise for the Videofag production of Crawlspace: 'Karen Hines's macabre monologue about a real-estate nightmare - and a dead animal stuck in a crawlspace - was all the more terrifying for being true. This was Hines at her most horrifyingly hilarious.' - Globe and Mail 'Hines's clever script, alternately savagely funny and disturbing, is full of facts the author keeps amending, underlining the bait-and-switch nature of the real estate swindle.' - NOW magazine 'The kind of story you want to talk about as soon as you get home. Horrifying and enlightening.' - Mooney on Theatre Karen Hines is an award-winning playwright, performer, and stage director. She has performed extensively in Canadian television and film, while her independent stage performances, plays, and short films have been presented internationally. She lives in Calgary, Alberta.Product Identifiers
