This one person
show was a remount for our company as part of the Summer Play
Parade at Gastown Studio Theatre in 1995. Our company
was still based from Victoria at this time. Diary of A Madman
was critically acclaimed and a Pick of the Fringe, and was
an early exploration by our company of adapting classic texts
for a contemporary performances. First produced in 1986,
this was its final run for Origins Theatre Projects.
"The play features a
comic look at a low grade civil servant’s descent into madness.
Gogol is known for his deft combination of tragedy and comedy,
and that also became a feature of Origins’ s productions.
The constant sense of comedy poised on the edge of pain
makes diary dynamic.”
