In 1913, legendary tragedienne Sarah Bernhardt travelled to Edmonton, Alberta, to perform the last act of Alexandre Dumas’s The Lady of the Camellias before two packed houses at the Empire Theatre. Augmenting well-documented accounts of both the Bernhardt visit and the surprisingly active local live theatre scene during the pre-First World War years, At the Zenith of the Empire creates a swirling speculative scenario about the impact of a very special day in the lives of Edmonton’s earliest theatre-goers and theatre practitioners. The Divine Sarah herself narrates this sumptuous romp of reminiscence, in which she and her eccentric co-star Lou Tellegen become instantly embroiled in the lives of the people they’ve come to entertain. Playwright Stewart Lemoine combines drama with hilarity in a play that visits such local landmarks as Ada Boulevard, the Groat Ravine, newly annexed Strathcona, and the not-quite-completed High Level Bridge—all the while celebrating that most crucial component of the theatrical equation—the audience!

The Sterling Award-winning author of At the Zenith of the Empire and A Teatro Trilogy returns with a new collection of charming, heart-warming comedies. Originally written for the Edmonton Fringe Festival, these three plays combine Lemoine’s trademark sparkling banter and fanciful settings with often unexpectedly emotional explorations of marriage, love, and family. In Happy Toes, a husband’s faith is tested when he begins to suspect his wife is having an affair with a close friend; in The Oculist’s Holiday, a World War I widow falls in love with an American eye doctor on vacation in the small Swiss city of Lausanne; and in Witness to a Conga, a young man’s impending marriage stirs up memories of his troubled relationship with his father, his parents’ divorce, and the woman who never knew she was the great love of his life.
