Theatre Caravel presents OVER by Darren O'Donnell
Jan 14 - Jan 16, 2010
|
All shows at 8pm

Tickets available online at www.TheatreCaravel.com and by phone via The Theatre Centre Box Office at 416 538 0988 for $12, and at the door for $15
A remount of Theatre Caravel's inaugural production, in which a brother and sister (Mann and Otter), seemingly oblivious to the world outside of their cramped apartment, battle their past and their inappropriate attraction to one another in a series of absurdist (and, at times, vaudevillian) conversations.
"...part of what made this production of Over so good was certainly the writing, but the play’s two actors, Eric and Julia, were also phenomenal as Mann and Otter."
-Darryl D'Souza
Mooney on Theatre
