No god below

About the event

A public workshop reading of a new play by Port Alberni playwright Bryce J. Casavant.

The play begins with a Vancouver Island mystery: the 1942 shelling of Estevan Point. From a journalist’s office, memory and sound take us aboard the Imperial Japanese submarine I-26. Blending documented history with imagined scenes, No god below asks what responsibility we carry for the orders we give, the orders we follow, and the harm that follows.

A workshop reading is a chance to hear a new script in actors’ voices as the playwright develops it for the stage. Come be part of the conversation as a local play takes shape.

Bryce J. Casavant is a Canadian Armed Forces veteran who served in Afghanistan, a former B.C. conservation officer, and the author of The Credible Rebel: 10 Lessons for an Advocate Life. He lives with his family in Port Alberni.
