wilby wonderful (2004) things i am not normal about include this piece of an interview with director daniel macivor, as found in an excerpt included in this 2008 livejournal entry which offers an unfortunately currently non-functional link to an article in the strand as source (emphasis mine):

The Strand: How did changing the film's name from Honey to Wilby Wonderful affect the movie in terms of editing? MacIvor: What a good question. The time when I was calling it Honey, there was a whole metaphor about how sometimes the thing that stings you gets you to something sweet. Sometimes you have to suffer for something good. And the town was called Honey… Then I realized I couldn't call it Honey because there was already a movie called Honey, and I didn't want to do that. I started to think about opening it up a bit: What is [the film] about if it's not all about that? And I thought, well, really, it's about hope, and it's got to be about hope. All the stuff I do, I think, is ultimately about that. So I started to think about it, and then … something hit me on the side of the head and said "Wilby." And then the town was Wilby, because that was about the future. And then Wilby Wonderful came from that, and all of a sudden the whole new draft came [from] that title. It's the magical thing that happens with writing: sometimes you have no idea where it's going and then all of a sudden you can't imagine you were ever going anywhere but there.

Entre elas, estão “Alaska”, “Os Mambembes” e a volta de “In on It”, espetáculo que fez grande sucesso quando veio para a edição de 2010. As revelações foram feitas pelos diretores do festival ao jornal O Globo. Com Louise D’Tuani e Rodrigo Pandolfo, “Alaska”, escrita pela americana Cindy Lou Johnson, conta a história de duas pessoas que ficam presas dentro de uma cabana em meio a uma nevasca terrível. Já “Os Mambembes”, que será a peça de abertura do festival e da Mostra Lúcia Camargo, tem em seu elenco nomes como Paulo Betti, Déborah Evelyn e Cláudia Abreu. “In on It”, montagem de Enrique Diaz a partir de um texto do canadense Daniel MacIvor, ganhou vários dos principais prêmios de teatro no Brasil. Os dois atores, Emilio Mello e Enrique Diz, se revezam em dez papéis e, tendo como apoio apenas duas cadeiras e a iluminação, encenam várias histórias diferentes. Quando passou pelo festival, catorze anos atrás, a peça foi um sucesso imenso. Além dessas, o festival já havia anunciado a presença de “Prima Facie”, monólogo de Débora Falabella que vem sendo considerado um dos melhores espetáculos da temporada, e “O Céu da Língua”, com Gregório Duvivier. O anúncio da programação completo será feito ainda nesta quarta. Os ingressos também começam a ser vendidos a partir das 20h.

DOUBLE BILL: “Monster" + "Here Lies Henry"

Written by Daniel MacIvor. Monster opens in the darkness of a cinema’s silence, disrupted by a shushing from a person in the audience, signalling the commencement of the story. A dark, twisted tale of fear, revenge and the human condition, Monster delves deep into the recesses of the minds. Previously a finalist for the Governor General’s Award for Drama, Monster is part twisted phycological…

And the ground opens up in front of me and I fall through and as I fall I shatter into a million pieces but the pieces will not separate they are held together by the tiny magnet of my mind-crashing crashing crashing-

Kay Meek Arts Centre in West Vancouver is staging Daniel MacIvor’s Marion Bridge, in celebration of its 20th Anniversary.
