Congrats to Alexa Devine & Ghost River Theatre

On December 22 HHG co-artistic director Alexa Devine closes the run of Ghost River Theatre’s Everything is Terribly Nice Here, which also marked Alexa’s Calgary debut. Ghost River’s Eric Rose and David van Belle have mounted a strong production of this gripping political dialogue (an otherwordly conversation between a assassinated filmmaker and his “fundamentalist” assailant, based on the murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh at the hands of Mohammed Bouyeri). The play provides a wonderfully provocative and balanced exchange of ideas from both sides of the argument. Check the review in the Calgary Herald, which also listed the production in its Honorable Mentions for the Best of 2012. Congrats also to castmates Clinton Carew and Ali Momen, and Vancouver’s own John Webber who did the set & lighting design.
