An interesting show is premiering in Vancouver in the New Year at the Firehall Arts Centre. The Motherf**ker with the Hat is the inaugural production of Haberdashery Theatre Co., a company whose mandate is to contribute to the local theatre scene by doing edgier, issue driven plays. This story features 12 Steps, 3 Heart, 1 Hat as well as love and addiction. The story begins in New York City and moves to the Downtown Eastside. It features Jackie an ex-con and addict who is determined to stay clean and get his life back track with the help of his sponsor. Jackie’s efforts are challenged by Veronica, the love of his life, who is an alcoholic/addict and he suspects is cheating on him with a ‘mofo’ with a hat. The play is being billed as “blisteringly funny and poignant”. The Motherf**ker with the Hat previews January 16th at 8:00 pm and continues until January 30th at the Firehall Arts Centre, 280 East Cordova Street. Tickets are available online from $16 – $33 and Wednesday matinee shows are Pay What You Can.
