“A profound, hilarious and subverting evening of prose and song from among the best”<\/strong>
\n– Dave Bidini, Guitarist & Lead Vocalist, Rheostatics & BidiniBand<\/p>\n

In Heroines of the Sexual Gothic<\/em>, critically acclaimed author Susan Swan explores her relationship to some of her most intriguing characters \u2014 the giantess Anna Swan, the fiercely independent Asked For Adams and the romantically idealistic Mary “Mouse” Bradford. Woven throughout Swan’s explorations is original music composed by Donna Linklater and performed by The Billie Hollies, Toronto’s popular opera noir quartet. The soulful sound of The Billie Hollies singing passages from Swan’s novels bring these characters to life, allowing the audience to powerfully connect to their own hopes, humour and struggles.<\/p>\n

Heroines of the Sexual Gothic<\/strong><\/em> is a theatrical performance that illuminates the body as an ongoing cultural dilemma for women and for men, while exploring how overcoming limiting perceptions of one\u2019s self can lead to brave and daring triumphs<\/strong>. Employing both poignancy and hilarity, Heroines<\/em> asks what the creation of Swan\u2019s characters tells us about the current cultural situation for women\u2013a time when many young women are reclaiming feminism (yes, they are!) and re-launching, re-visioning and re-inventing initiatives to continue the work started by their mothers\u2019 generation of feminists.<\/p>\n

Join us for this unique evening of performance – Susan Swan, Louise Fagan and The Billie Hollies have created an evening of talk and music you’ll never forget!<\/p>\n

Assistant producer and director: Mariel Marshall<\/strong><\/p>\n
