Night Desk: An Online Play Reading

On a dark winter night in a cheap hotel lobby, Romeo Kuchmir shares his earthy vision of the world, spinning tales about the wild 1950’s Canadian wrestling world, forbidden loves and growing up on the prairies. All the while, the young hotel clerk, the Kid, quietly scribbles down the stories. Romeo wants to be remembered, but he wants it done his way… And that ain’t gonna work for The Kid.

“Comic and raging. A fight promoter’s ringside tales of life and love.”

Actors from across Canada come together to bring Heather Davies’ adaptation of George Ryga’s novel Night Desk to life online.
