The Unsecured Present

by Vincenzo Di Nicola


Vincenzo Di Nicola’s poetry is fusion of feeling and intellect, a tryst between image and idea. It’s also distinctive for the clarity and lucidity of its language: the musicality of words on a page—and on the tongue—by which the poet gives shape and voice to an intricate spiral of thoughts and emotions. The Unsecured Present, this innovative blend of ‘pomes’ and prose, is a meditative journey from remembrance to discovery, Christina Manolescu, publisher and founder of "Invisible Cities Network," Montreal

Read an online review at Amazon by D.G. Farnsworth:

"After Fernando," the opening novella of "The Unsecured Present," resonates with the provoking bipolarity of memory - that memory is a betrayal: When you try to remember, you have to betray either the person you were or the person you've become...

Presenting: The Dining Room, by Dramatis Personae, May 5, 6, 13, 2012

Author: Christina - Published 2012-04-28 16:39 - (3822 Reads)

The Dining Room

The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and all special occasions.

The action is a mosaic of interrelated scenes—some funny, some touching, some rueful—which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP. The actors change roles, personalities and ages with virtuoso skill as they portray a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids.

Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammar and politics; a boy returns from boarding school to discover his mother's infidelity; a senile grandmother doesn't recognize her own sons at Thanksgiving dinner; a daughter, her marriage a shambles, pleads futilely to return home, etc.

Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.

Venue:
Victoria Hall,
4626 Sherbrook Street, West
Westmount, Quebec

Times
May 5, 8,00 pm
May 6, 8,00 pm

To Be

World Première: An exciting new musical written by Montrealers and set in Montreal. People who have seen it in production are giving it rave reviews!

Featuring original music and the integration of selections from William Shakespeare's masterpieces. Set in Montreal, 'To Be' is the story of Adam, a young man discovering what it means to be true 'to thine own self.' Suffering through a rough patch with love a friend brings him out to a night on the town. That evening, much to his surorise he falls in love with another man. As this strange, new relationship blossoms, Adam is confronted by the ghosts of his past. The not-so-smooth course that lies ahead makes him probe questions that resound in the lives of Generation Y: What does it mean to be in love? To be a man? To be gay? And finally, simply, to be?
