The Bodice Ripper
by Blaine Newton
Can two couples locked in a cabin write a romance novel in four days? Can’t be any harder than salvaging a marriage or dodging a mob enforcer. Come on, team! This bodice isn’t going to rip itself! Directed by Tracy Carroll. Cast TBA.
Blaine is a playwright, sketch writer, improviser and sometime engineer. As a cast member of Edmonton’s Rapid Fire Theatre, combined with his engineering training, he alters current reality by day and creates alternate realities at night. His plays have been seen by well under a million people, and include his 2018 Fringe Production of The Five Stages of Death (previously presented at Script Salon), the Shadow Theatre production of Bravo, and Oral Fixations (co-written with Leslie Greentree) with Ignition Theatre (and also previously at Script Salon, along with Curtain Call, The Thin Grey Line, and shorts The Unkindest Cut and The Theatregoers). His writing has been described by the late Pope Benedict as “filled with warmth, particularly when burned.”
