And Then There Were None
By Agatha Christie
Sept. 24-Oct. 11, 2014
An Aquarius encore for the World's Greatest Mystery Writer! If you loved last season's record-shattering production of The Mousetrap, you won’t want to miss this triumphant teaser from the Mistress of Suspense! When ten strangers arrive on isolated Indian Island at the invitation of a mysterious host, it soon becomes clear that only Murder is here for a holiday! One by one, these "ten little Indians" are put on trial for their sins, and the verdict… is Death! You’ll be guessing until the end with this masterpiece of mystery!
Billy Bishop Goes To War
Written and composed by John Gray
in collaboration with Eric Peterson
Oct. 29-Nov. 15, 2014
One of the best-known and most-produced plays in Canadian theatre history, Billy Bishop Goes to War is both a sweeping musical drama and a deceptively simple two-man show. It both celebrates heroism and questions the emptiness of fame. A memory play and a love-letter to Canadian history, Billy Bishop Goes to War is raucous and haunting, hilarious and heartbreaking and an evening of theatre you will never forget. Winner of the Governor-General’s Award, the Chalmers Award and the Los Angeles Drama Critics Award.
The Theatre Aquarius Production of
Disney’s and Cameron Mackintosh’s
Mary Poppins
A Musical based on the stories of P.L. Travers
and the Walt Disney Film
Dec. 3-27, 2014
It's a Jolly Holiday with Mary at Theatre Aquarius! Practically perfect in every way, Mary Poppins: The Broadway Musical draws from the beloved 1964 Disney film and the brilliant series of books by P.L. Travers for this Holiday Family Musical that will delight theatre lovers of all ages! A joyous journey through the fantasies and foibles of childhood that's jam-packed with unforgettable theatrical magic, Mary Poppins: The Broadway Musical is like meeting old friends for the very first time. You don’t know Mary until you’ve met her in person!
Boeing Boeing
by Marc Camoletti, English Translation by Beverly Cross
Feb. 4-21, 2015
Bernard had it all. Fashionable home in Paris, efficient housekeeper, staggeringly precise knowledge of international airline schedules and engaged to not one, not two but three beautiful stewardesses, none of whom had the slightest idea of the other's existence. What could be finer? But when Boeing suddenly develops a new, faster jet engine, Bernard's intricate web of bachelor perfection comes apart at the seams, with hilarious results! A howlingly funny, achingly sexy romp that will leave you breathless!
Dead Metaphor
By George F. Walker
Mar. 11-28, 2015
The Canadian Rep Company production comes to the stage at Theatre Aquarius! Dean is a young ex-sniper, just back from Afghanistan, struggling to find work. His family is disintegrating before his eyes; his wife is ready to divorce him a second time, yet players on both ends of the political spectrum find Dean's special talents oddly appealing. A killer comedy by a master playwright in top form. "Dead Metaphor is dead serious, but it's still seriously funny." - San Francisco Examiner (audience advisory - some strong language)
Monty Python's Spamalot
Book & Lyrics by Eric Idle
Music by John Du Prez & Eric Idle
A new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" From the original screenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin
Apr. 15-May 2, 2015
What happens when the brain-bending irreverence of the famously foolish comedy troupe Monty Python is mixed with the heroic tales of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table and wrapped up in the creamy nougat of a Tony Award-wining Best Musical? You get Spamalot – the laugh-a-minute smash hit show "lovingly ripped off" from the Python's comedy classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Spamalot is delightfully silly, surprisingly clever and unapologetically fun for both fans and the uninitiated alike.
