Set in the ocean-side, fishery town of 1960’s Steveston, British Columbia, Iris takes us back to her 12-year-old self, and what she describes as “the last few days of her childhood”. Preoccupied with the impending Cuban Missile crisis, and the obvious strain in her parents’ marriage, Iris is convinced that the death of her goldfish, Amahl, must have brought on these troubles.
After finding a mysterious man washed up on the beach and bringing the elusive stranger home, Iris becomes more and more convinced that she knows who he really is…and that he can restore what has been broken with the magic of his presence. Peering into this family “goldfish bowl” will find you incredulous, laughing, possessed of a deep sense of recognition, and aware of the great healing power of the imagination.

The young Australian virtuoso returns to Canada for 56 intimate and one of a kind performances across the country include his first ever visit to Peterborough!

He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout his teens and performing wherever he could, honing his craft and developing the dynamite live show that he is renowned for today. At 18 he finished school, turned professional and hit the road without looking back.
The following 15 years have seen him independently release 7 studio albums, tour relentlessly around the globe, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun and share stages with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins and Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Macbeth
2024-05-23 19:00 | Market Hall Performing Arts, 140 Charlotte St Third Floor, Peterborough, K9J 2T8
A prophecy. A crown. A murder. William Shakespeare’s famous tragedy tells the story of Macbeth, a warrior-chief who meets three strange sisters on his way home from battle who tell him of a prophecy that could lead to unimaginable power. Aware of his duty but unable to ignore his vaulting ambition, he and his brilliant wife plot a murder. What follows may tear his fragile kingdom, and perhaps the world itself, apart.
Set in an apocalyptic waste beset by violence, greed, political corruption, and environmental crisis a place and time that could as easily be the Scotland of yesterday as the Canada of today, or any number of frighteningly possible tomorrows—the Electric City Players present William Shakespeare’s Macbeth in a way that seeks to highlight how this 400 year-old tragedy remains disturbingly familiar and relevant to our own world and moment.
