The Serpent’s Book of Lamentations — Dark Horse Theatre Group

Overview

Everyone has multiple aspects to their personality. Everyone has wondered what would happen if they were all able to interact. No, we're not the only ones. We know you've come across duality, doppelgangers and fractured identities on screen, on the stage and in stories, because artists, writers and actors just can't seem to get enough of the concept.

Dark Horse Theatre Group is the latest, courtesy of The Serpent’s Book of Lamentations. The production's title might sound like a fairytale, but its content proves a bit more intriguing.

Here, a playwright fashions a tale for all the inner parts of his mind to perform, then watches as they audition, share their experiences and challenge each other to duels, games and battles. It's the type of complex and contemplative show that combines poetry and pantomime — and it's certain to appeal to at least one part of every person in the audience.
