A large-scale stage adaption of a multi-award winning radio text by Wolfram Lotz, The Ridiculous Darkness is a satirical modern mash-up of the classic novel Heart of Darkness and the Oscar-winning film Apocalypse Now.  When two soldiers enter a foreign (to them) land to retrieve a fellow comrade who has gone rogue, they encounter a series of local communities and inhabitants and the journey becomes an earnest – albeit hilarious – exploration of how difficult yet vital it is to understand “the other”.

“An award-winning satirical fusion of Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now. The Draw: A cast that embodies diversity in race and ability, plus taiko drummers, powwow dancers, a marching band, street vendors, and a children’s choir. This is not your average night at the theatre… You want big? You want lively? You want hope in these dark times? Here you go.” – Kathleen Oliver, The Georgia Straight, Fall Arts Picks
