A World Premiere

EDMONTON- Shadow Theatre is excited to present the World Premiere of Conni Massing's Fresh Hell, the new play from the award-winning Canadian playwright and screenwriter. 

Fresh Hell imagines three encounters between Joan of Arc and American writer Dorothy Parker. Both are facing death, with only words to defend themselves. Joan has failed to drive the oppressors out of her country; Dorothy despairs about humanity and her own legacy. But though famously selfish and self-destructive, Dorothy may actually be able to to give Joan- and us- reasons to hope.

Fresh Hell stars Kate Newby as Dorothy Parker; Sidney Williams as Joan of Arc.

Directed by Tracy Carroll, the creative team includes Assistant Director Amanda Goldberg; Set, Props, Lighting Designer Daniel vanHeyst; Sound & Video Designer Tori Morrison; Costume Designer Leona Brausen; Dialect Coach David Ley; Stage Manager Gaby Phaneuf; Production Manager Chris Hicks.
