Thinking about sex all the time.


The terrible but incomplete journals of John D.

A Rumble Production

Written by Governor General's Award-winning author Guillermo Verdecchia
(Fronteras Americanas),The terrible but incomplete journals of John D. is a
melancholy, funny, and musical look a the multifarious strains of
deception.

A  "regular, straight, white, fin-de-siecle kind of guy", a woman known
only as M., and a cello are the central elements of this chamber piece
built around the curmudgeonly introspections of the reluctant,
quasi-EveryMan, John D.  The Terrible But Incomplete Journals of John D. is
an invitation to listen, reflect, judge and, maybe, just maybe, forgive.

June 4 - 14, 8:30pm at Performance Works on Granville Island. Tickets: $12/$10
Pay What You Can June 7 & 9. Call TicketMaster at 280-3311.

AND Rumble has produced a studio recorded CD of The terrible but incomplete
journals of John D., which will be released at a CD launch on June 11th ,
7pm at Performance works.

AND in conjunction with Rumble's presentation of John D., Pacific
Cinematheque presents Terrible Voices: four days of films in ferocious
first-person. This is four-day exhibition of independent, innovative,
original cinema in frequently ferocious, always terrifyingly direct
first-person featuring: Alan Willams' The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati,
and Anne Clair Poirier's Tue as crie (Let Me Go).

AND in keeping with Rumble's process for developing  new work, a reading of
the upcoming multimedia adaptation by Sally Clark of Chekhov's Three
