That's awesome news, I found a bit out about the play :)
-------------------------------------------------------
Five of Vancouver's finest actors play 24 characters in Argentine
playwright Rafael Spregelburd's fast-paced comedy set in The Desert
Flamingo motel on the fringes of Vegas.
A group of white trash works a casino scam … the secret of the
universe is about to become tabloid fodder … a fading painting has to
be unloaded fast … the mafia launches its own version of Kylie
Minogue … three cops live an intense story of love, treason and sign
language.
Imagine gags that George F. Walker and Quentin Tarantino might write
for Reno 911.
Conspiracy premieres the English-language version of Stupidity,
translated and adapted by playwright Crispin Whittell through
National Theatre's (London) Channels Series. The play, one of a
series of seven works inspired by Hieronymous Bosch's painting Wheel
of the Deadly Sins, has been produced in Buenos Aires, Rio de
Janeiro, Berlin, Madrid, Lisbon, Mexico City and soon in Paris.
Spregelburd is an actor, director, translator and playwright who has
had many of his 20 plays "of language, personal idioms and unknown
territories" translated into German, French, English, Italian,
Portuguese, Swedish, Czech and Dutch.
Richard Wolfe has directed such hit plays as A Skull in Connemara,
Omniscience, Blue / Orange, Closer, As Bees in Honey Drown and Mojo
for Theatre Conspiracy, which is dedicated to providing "an eye on
the world," tapping the crosscurrents of international culture.
Veteran Vancouver actor Allan Morgan (Julius Caesar, How I Learned to
Drive) leads a cast including Naomi Wright (Taming of the Shrew,
Absurd Person Singular), Johann Helf (A Skull in Connemara, Angels in
America), Nicole Leroux (Omniscience, Mary's Wedding) and Alex Zahara
(Mojo, The Promised Land). The Stupidity design team includes Barbara
Clayden (costumes), Chris Hind (music), Michael Schaldemose
(lighting) and Al Frisk (set). The stage manager is Jaimie Tait.
