Bloodless: The Trial of Burke and Hare

Book, Music and Lyrics by Joseph Aragon
TORONTO PREMIERE

The delightfully dark true story of the 1829 West Port murders in Edinburgh.

A wickedly entertaining musical spectacle and award-winning fringe festival hit, the show recounts the historical case of two 19th century Irish serial killers who go into business selling corpses to medical anatomy schools.

Reminiscent of Sweeney Todd, this raucous, eerie tale of deceit, murder and mayhem is told in memorable song, macabre humour, and compelling lyrics.

RAINDOGS

Lyrics by Andrew MacBean, music by MacBean, Paul Chant and Boko Suzuki. Book by MacBean, Rose Martula and Lanford Wilson
BASED ON LANFORD WILSON'S BALM IN GILEAD

Theatre 20 partners with Sheridan College’s Canadian Music Theatre Project on a new workshop featuring both seasoned Theatre professionals and Sheridan students.

The show is a moving and gritty look at the junkies, pushers, prostitutes and other freaks that inhabit an upper West Side greasy spoon.

COMPANY

Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by George Furth
FIRST TORONTO PRODUCTION IN 25 YEARS

This show, said my many to have launched the age of the modern musical, centres on Robert, a single man unable to commit to a steady relationship, the married couples who are his best friends, and his three on-again off-again girlfriends.

Set in early-1970s, upper-middle-class Manhattan and told through a series of vignettes in no particular chronological order, each character and scene is linked by the celebration of Bobby’s 35th birthday.
