 I'm Laura Foy and I am in the Lost Nation Theatre's adaptation of Howard Frank Moser's novel Disappearances. Turn your head aside if you're offended. I've never encountered such delicate sensibilities. The writing in the novel is so detailed and there's so much exciting things and the job for the playwright, the job for Kim was to distill all of that into a cohesive story that still holds true. The job that Kim did, adapting the spirit of the novel and bringing it to the stage is quite exceptional and not an easy thing to do. Everyone in the cast is incredibly talented and very funny. There's a lot of very sweet and dear scenes that are almost cartoon-like or comic-like. Disappointing of like Tim Tim comic books. Just not necessarily a challenge working on a new play. There is a challenge working on French-Canadian accent. That's who I'm gonna tell you what. That's hard. Don't pay no attention to him, Bill. He couldn't stand to sit at home and not know what was going on for him. He'd be missing out on something to disapprove of, huh? It's fun, magical, a bit spooky. There's comedy, there's tragedy, there's mystery, it's a little spooky. It's an action-adventure, a coming-of-age story. There's a lot of wonderful actors in it. It's an incredible show that's based in the Northeast Kingdom in the 1930s. So Prohibition Era, it's a whiskey-running adventure with a magical realism undertone. Have you bought another car, KB? Yes, I have, Brett. There she is. Say, this don't look like our door yard. What I really enjoy about working on Disappearances is making something that hasn't existed before. Because it is a new play. It's great because you're sort of crafting the play as you move along. We open this coming week, October 4th, and we're running for three weeks if you're in the Montpelier Verma area. The whole place was jeering. I ain't seen jeering like that since I set the whole crew. Drunk lumberman of Kurt Hewitt. The dancing's all hard. The punk house is a lot of candy. It's the first stage adaptation by your very own Kim Bents. We'll check it out.
