Sir Arthur C. Clarke's HOW WE WENT TO MARS, 10 - 19 June, 2011
Published 2011-06-02 09:45 - (8950 Reads) -You can follow the Fringe in many ways, like looking for works-in-progress from actors and directors you know and like. Montreal actor Chris Nachaj can bring up the level of a so-so show and make a good show great. He’s been working on solo pieces recently and the Fringe hosts his latest with Elizabeth Canos’ adaptation, Arthur C. Clarke’s How We Went to Mars, directed by Len Richman.
This satire of 1920s and 30s sci-fi pulp is a fictional book tour, wherein the Snoring-In-The-Hay Rocket Society present the findings of their recent expedition. Nachaj has been flying slightly below radar for too long. Here’s a chance to see a talented performer deserving of more recognition.
