Out of luck for the third time this term, with another statutory holiday this Monday, but an ideal time to promote the latest play I saw: Medea by the local Noh theatre company Yoyoi Theatre Movement company. It was enthralling to see the combination of Noh chants in Japanese, along with English narration and dialogue. Puppetry, masks and costumes added to the international blend as a far-eastern Medea plot her revenge on her wayward husband. And to top it all, I got to visit another new theatre space, the Orpheum Annex, which is not only connected to my Dad’s place of work, the historic Orpheum Theatre, but occupies the space that was my favourite movie theatre, the Capitol Six. Feels like I am coming home.
