About the show: Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancés, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

Running September 27 through October 6 at Hull's Wood in Fish Creek Park in Calgary, Alberta, Incendiary Festival presents Abigail written and directed by Rebecca Orion. Kyle sits down with Rebecca and performer Jack Orion to discuss what it takes to bring an original work into the woods and attract an audience.

About the Show: Abigail Williams is in love. She has never known anyone like John Proctor, and if she has to burn down the entire town of Salem to be with him, so be it. However, as her words command more power than she ever thought possible, she learns that John isn’t the only one staking claim to things that aren’t his. Can she protect the girls in her town and still get her man? Does she even want to? This loose retelling of The Crucible looks at the politics of love, power, and teenage angst.
