For Immediate Release
Theatre Inconnu Presents
The World Premiere of a powerful new Canadian play
Possessions by Kevin Land
Oct 17 - Nov 3, 2007
Possessions is a play inspired by Felicitas Goodman's book The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel; upon which the Hollywood film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, was loosely based. This amazing play chronicles the true story of a young woman who received a Vatican sanctioned exorcism in the mid 1970's. Land's interpretation of well-meaning intentions leading to tragic results, is heartbreaking as well as terrifying. This play was work-shopped at Canada's famous Stratford Festival, and Theatre Inconnu is excited to be the first to bring it fully to life.
Directed by Graham McDonald - director of Inconnu's recent hit production of The Caretaker - this production features some of Victoria's top acting talent: Pandora Morgan, Trevor Hinton, Lindsay Alley, Hannah Johnson, Eric Grace, Dennis Eberts, Deborah McDonald, and Shawn Watson. Apropos to the Halloween season, these skilled artists come together to prove that the truth is infinitely more disturbing and terrifying than fiction.
