Ain’t True & Uncle False

ManDamsel and FellaLady—Cinematheque

A wacky world woven from words; that’s what Paul Strickland invents and delivers. Trailer Park tales with just enough logic to have you nodding your head, and then shucks, there they are on stage, Uncle True with his wonky eye, Poppa Ganda, Ma Ganda, the Siamese twins who were one year apart in age, and the black-eyed pea factory with it’s own way of processing, canning, and marketing.

And that’s to say nothing about the hills and valleys that make a life, and the flat line that you want to avoid with its one note promise of a full stop. Only that doesn’t stop the stories from being told and passed down.

Fringe means edge and edgy and Strickland will take you there and back if’n you’re willing to go.
