AfterImage Http://www.artisticfraud.com/Artistic_Fraud/Coming_Up_Next/Pages/AfterImage.html AfterImage Based on a short story by Michael Crummey Adapted by Robert Chafe Directed by Jillian Keiley Composed by Jonathan Monro Robert Chafe wins the 2010 Governor General’s Award for Drama for his script for Afterimage! Now available for touring! An accidental electrocution and an unexpectedly forged family. These two seemingly disconnected events intertwine to tell a story of connectivity and belonging in Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland’s AfterImage, based on the short story by lauded novelist and poet Michael Crummey (author of River Thieves, The Wreckage and Galore). Composer Jonathan Monro designed a new instrument for the production that integrates guitar and piano wire into the copper wire set. A multi-tasking musical eight person cast tell the story on a stage literally flowing with live electricity. Crummey’s original narrative hums with danger and possibility, much like the world upon which Artistic Fraud’s retelling unfolds. What audiences have been saying: “This was so beautiful it made my stomach ache (in a good way...” “Such a pleasant and enhancing surprise to come across something so damn good.” “Fascinating, touching, shocking, powerful, intricate...all those words.” Winston tells the children a story.
