Biography |
"Rick McNair, former head of the company's school touring group, Theatre Caravan, enriched Theatre Calgary during his term as artistic director (1978-84) by presenting the work of talented playwrights living in Calgary, particularly that of John Murrell and Sharon Pollock. McNair also supervised the planning for the Theatre Calgary's new home, 750-seat Max Bell Theatre in the Calgary Centre for Performing Arts, which opened in 1985. McNair initiated a Winnipeg Fringe Festival, sponsored by the Manitoba Theatre Centre (MTC), in the summer of 1988" (qtd. from The Oxford Companion to Canadian Theatre. Eds. Eugene Benson and L. W. Conolly). |

| Synopsis |
"There is no more T.V. Four people are forced to talk with one another, only they've forgotten how. An exciting piece of satiric black humour. Human video games, deadly charades, and a very unusual Hamlet try to replace the television" (qtd. from 19 Sept. 2003. http://www.playwrightsguild.ca/cgi-bin/puc/catalogue.cgi?function=play_details&Plays_uid=1337). |
