Drama. Phone-fearing dancers, philosophical skiers and virgin draft dodgers: HIPPIES AND BOLSHEVIKS AND OTHER PLAYS introduces an eclectic cast of characters and announces a formidable new voice in Canadian drama. It is a collection of three comedies, The Wedding Pool, Lena's Car and Hippies and Bolsheviks, that'll blow your mind and force you to confront our greatest fears: love, death, and sex. The title play sets in motion a freaky love triangle between a draft dodger and two young and passionate Canadian hippies, stumbling home from a Led Zeppelin concert. Set in that hotbed of hippie idealism, 1970s British Columbia, can these young dropouts hold on to their ideals as The Establishment closes in? "An absolute delight from start to finish"--Calgary Sun.

Amiel Gladstone's work has been produced in Canada, New York, Philadelphia, and Colmar, France. His work has been recognized with numerous awards, including a Jessie for original script for Lena's Car, and best production at SummerWorks for The Black Box. He also works as a director and is the current Artistic Producer of Theatre SKAM and the Artistic Associate at Caravan Farm Theatre.
