Sunshine Theatre Company presents You Fancy Yourself
Mar 10-13 2010 8:00pm - Matinee Mar 11 12:00noon
Award winning writer/performer Maja Ardal's one-woman comic tour-de-force You Fancy Yourself is epic in scope. Maja plays 11 brilliant, quirky characters, in an action-packed challenging, humorous and poignant tale of the growing pains of a girl trying to fit in to a new culture.
This tale of playground politics and childhood loyalties set against the background of 1950s Edinburgh, tells the story of six year old Elsa whose family has emigrated from the land of the Vikings and fairies to wild and woolly Scotland. Post-war industrial Edinburgh is suspicious of foreigners and Elsa quickly and cruelly learns that navigating her way through her new world of tenement buildings, scrubbing ladies and elf children will require more than learning the words to ‘Scotland the Brave’. Fitting in means taking on the schoolyard bullies; and that being fascinated with the massacre of Glencoe doesn't make you Scottish; and that dreams come with a high price.
Tickets just $30.00 available at www.select yourtickets.com or call 250-717-5304
