Arden

A new adaptation of an anonymous tragicomedy based on a real-life scandal, ARDEN follows a desperate woman who convinces her greedy lover, a nervous servant, a mysterious painter, and a vicious cutthroat to take her husband down. But as the schemes get more and more complicated and the would-be killers grow more and more bloodthirsty, the play hurtles towards an inevitable – and bizarre – conclusion. Think Renaissance Fargo. Artistic Director Dan Bray reshapes this infamous tale of lust, greed, and paranoia for the Halifax stage, creating a breathless adaptation, staged in the shadowy recesses of the historic Keith’s Brewery.
