Writing the play
Ahead of the Centaur Theatre and Belfry Theatre productions in 2017, Mark Crawford discussed what he envisioned for the play and his choice to use the vocal masque form of theatre. “I wanted the audience to spend two hours with one couple; to centre the play around them and see their story from their point of view.”
“Bed and Breakfast is not an autobiographical story, but most art is in some way a reflection of its creator. There are parts of me and people I know in many of these characters. I’ve also spent some time in communities like the one in the play, so I’ve drawn on those places for inspiration.”
Bed & Breakfast
By Mark Crawford
April 4–May 4, 2019
Granville Island Stage
When Brett inherits a family estate, he and his partner, Drew, move to a quiet little tourist town to set up a B&B. But will these big city boys face friction in their new community? With dozens of hilarious characters all portrayed by two actors, it’s a heartfelt comedy about “being out,” skeletons in the closet, and finding a place to call home.
