by
Gogol
Adapted
by the company for the stage
Directed by the company
Acted by Donnard MacKenzie
Technical Direction Johnathan Teague
This
one person show was a remount for our company as part of the
Summer Play Parade at Gastown Studio Theatre in 1995.
Our company was still based from Victoria at this time. Diary
of A Madman was critically acclaimed and a Pick of the Fringe,
and was an early exploration by our company of adapting classic
texts for a contemporary performances. First produced
in 1986, this was its final run for Origins Theatre Projects.
"The
play features a comic look at a low grade civil servant’s
descent into madness. Gogol is known for his deft
combination of tragedy and comedy, and that also became
a feature of Origins’ s productions. The constant sense
of comedy poised on the edge of pain makes diary dynamic.”
