House Humans

House opened my eyes to the work of MacIvor and set the standard for contemporary Canadian theatre. Victor's rants and theories are both entertaining and engaging for an audience, and both challenging and rewarding for an actor. MacIvor thrives in the intimacy of smaller theatre spaces where the audience has no choice but to be affected by the action on stage. If interested, be sure to read See Bob Run, Never Swim alone, Here Lies Henry, and MacIvor's most recent play Marion Bridge - his most sincere work so far. Great to read, wonderful to perform, and unforgettable to witness. Also, MacIvor fans may look for the new independent film adaptation of See Bob Run by Calgarian director Don Scott!

No playwright has ever engaged my attention the way Daniel MacIvor does. The production of House Humans I saw grabbed me by the throat. MacIvor obliterates the fourth wall with a combination of showmanship, stage craft, and pure writing skill that nobody today matches. If you're looking for a play to spice up your season, and have a director with the courage and resourcefulness to take on this script, you'll have a hit on your hands. If you are at all interested in modern drama, you should read this guy, and pick up his other scripts as well. He's pure gold.
