4 1/2 (ig)noble truths

Let’s pretend for a second that we’re OK. What does that feel like? This show is for those times when you can’t get out of bed – when you’ve only been eating breakfast cereal for days. ‘4 1⁄2 (ig)noble truths’ is Thomas McKechnie’s deeply personal attempt to articulate his experience living with clinical depression. Initially framed as a matter-of-fact lecture, when this method falls short he uses objects, poetry, sound and action to offer 4 ½ totally useful pieces of advice for battling depression. “It was, quite possibly, the most honest piece of theatre I saw all year.” – Jill Harper – Intermission Magazine Toronto (Top shows of 2016). “4 1/2 (ig)noble truths is moving, intelligent, funny, helpful and goddamn brave; you need to see it.” – My Entertainment World Tickets: pitheatre.com/tickets Run Time: 60 minutes + talkbacks every evening When: April 25-27 at 8pm Where: KW Production Studio, 111 Hastings St, Vancouver, BC. (Entrance through the Woodwards Atrium) Part of the Pi Provocateurs Presentation Series. Produced by zeitpunktheatre in association with Why Not Theatre.
