I dunno Calgary, sometimes I just don’t know. Today’s Vertigo Theatre matinee of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None… was surprisingly well acted on all fronts—four roles in particular, for me. As I’ve previously ranted, I find it unbearably offensive that Calgarians give standing ovations to literally every single live show imaginable—regardless of actual quality. And yet, come time for applause at today’s performance—a remarkably character-driven play with a cast of ten, acted with superb emotion and cadence—the audience claps for one bow, abruptly halts, and rushes for the doors. WTF?! TL;DR: I feel an incredible injustice has been committed, and I wish to convey to the cast and crew—cast especially—of today’s performance my sincere appreciation of their talents. I’m truly sorry the applause, for once, couldn’t have continued on for longer.
