Dressed as People – A Triptych of Uncanny Abduction

Parry Riposte Productions—Tom Hendry Warehouse

As posted, we have three stories. The opening tale is eerily disturbing and stuck to my mind throughout the entire show. In fact, it was so unsettling that it clung with me through the next story and I lost focus often, reminiscing about the horror while the second tale continued. The final story was the lightest of the three, but there is still plenty of heartbreak and misery.

If I was to produce the show, I would swap the order and switch the positions of the first and final stories. This is not a feel-good show, so I’d leave the audience with the most horrific for last.

Dressed as People – A Triptych of Uncanny Abduction—Tom Hendry Warehouse

A new show from the team that brought you “The Elephant Girls!” (100% Sold Out, Winnipeg Fringe, 2016 & 2018)

Three of Canada’s internationally renowned, queer, female & non-binary, speculative fiction and horror writers (Amal El-Mohtar, “This is How You Lose the Time War”; Kelly Robson, “Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach”; A.M. Dellamonica (as LX Beckett, “Gamechanger”) now team up with multi-award-winning actor, Margo MacDonald, to write for theatre for the very first time!

Three completely different confessions of paranormal encounters, the monologues are creepy, heartfelt, and funny.

“…seamlessly weaves three stories with themes of abduction, loss and queerness into one beautiful, dark play.”

“Captivating and thought-provoking…[performed with an] authenticity that resonates long after the end of the show.”– Apt613
