Description

Matchstick Theatre presents Michael Ross Albert’s play The Huns in Neptune Theatre’s Craig Boardroom. A cutting office comedy and nuanced exploration of today’s working world, The Huns is the first piece of Mayworks Kjipuktuk/Halifax’s new MOMENTUM programming. From August 26th to September 7th, experience the Atlantic Canadian premiere of one of the country’s most exciting new playwrights.

 

Three employees of a tech company—Shelley (Katerina Bakolias), Pete (Liam Fair), and Iris (Gil Anderson)—meet for an emergency conference call. Their office has been robbed and essential equipment is missing, with Gen-Seven set to launch ON MONDAY! The three co-workers have their bosses and colleagues on the line—WHAT COULD GO WRONG?! 

 

The Huns is directed by Jake Planinc and designed by Jordan Palmer, with Chelsea Dickie (Stage Manager) and Alex Mills (House Manager). Matchstick’s 70-minute production has accessible, but extremely limited capacity. Tickets are $20 plus taxes and fees (with one PWYC preview on August 26th). 

 

Performances are at 7:30PM Tuesday through Saturday and 2:00PM on Saturdays and Sundays. Please contact us in advance for accommodation at matchsticktheatre@gmail.com
