Shumiatcher Sandbox Series
Written by Arlen Konopaki & Amy Shostak
OCTOBER 21 - 30 | 2010
Walter Boyle is a down-and-out lawyer and disgraced surgeon, homeless and without hope. Ester Horse is a failed actress, her dreams laying in pieces around her. When chance brings them together in the Big City, they swear eternal love. And now, one thing is for sure: for better or worse, the romantic comedy will never be the same.
A Watched Pot Never Boyles, featuring Edmonton improv duo Arlen Konopaki and Amy Shostak, is a boy-meets/gets/loses/finds-girl story turned on its head with deliciously dark humour, and lots of it. With a relentless pace that no love story has a right to, Konopaki and Shostak bring on a deluge of wordplay, farce, slapstick and satire that will leave you fighting for breath so that you can laugh some more.
You won’t want to miss the irreverent comedy that has consistently attracted rave reviews since its debut in Edmonton’s 2007 NextFest. Bring your partner. Bring your ex. Bring your partner’s ex. It’s going to be that kind of night.

Begin Your Transformation Here
The Shumiatcher Sandbox Series at Globe Theatre showcases the work of artists who continually challenge the boundaries of theatre, dance and multi-disciplinary performance.
We invited artists to propose their own work for presentation on our stage. This year, we are proud to offer Six (6) projects as part of the Shumiatcher Sandbox Series and Three (3) new works as part of the inaugural Reading Series.
Each of these productions is innovative, challenges conventions and expectations, and is backed by a team of talented theatre professionals.
We invite you to watch the evolution of these projects on our stage.
Come and begin your own transformation at the theatre.
