Rode Hard: Hell Bent for Leather
2025-03-26 - 2025-03-29 | cSPACE Marda Loop- Studio Theatre, 1721 29th Ave. SW, Calgary, AB, T2T 6T7, Canada
THEATRE ENCOUNTER presents A NEW PLAY BY AMOS ALTMAN
In this uniquely Albertan farce, inspired by “bedroom farces” such as One Man, Two Guvnors and Three’s Company, an enigmatic drifter by the name of Oakley arrives at the rural home of Dick Bigman, with the goal to swindle the lavish ranch for as much as they can get. Innuendo pushes into raunchiness when Oakley finds themself the romantic object of the rancher’s wife, servants, and maybe even the lovely farmer’s daughter.
In this new performance experiment, the Encounter company explores the intersection of Farce and Expressionism, to see how their distinctive approach to physical performance can inform a comedic work. This ‘workshop’ presentation will inform further development of RODE HARD in 2026 and 2027.
RODE HARD is presented as a double bill with our 2025 Stranger Studio presentation.
Produced by THEATRE ENCOUNTER with the support of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and Calgary Arts Development
