Vancouver To Do’s For The Last Days Of May
Good god it’s almost June! There’s sunshine in the weather forecast and lots to do this week. What are your plans for the summer? It’s going to be a great one! While your thinking on that, here’s a few musts for this week should you have time for some festivities.
Vancouver Theatresports Throne and Games
We barely watch Game of Thrones, but this Improv show had us in stitches! The characters are so well played and it’s just the thing you need for a night out. A lonely Queen sits atop the Iron Throne, but her kingdom is under threat from all sides. The final fight between the Lannisters, Starks and Targaryens is about to go down and everyone will probably die! With a new scenario by popular ensemble members Graeme Duffy and Denise Jones , a murderous cast of characters, an innovative set by Mo Sherwood and more plot twists than the original TV show; this all-new production comes with a severe hilarity warning. Which of the characters will have the last laugh and sit triumphant on the Iron Throne? Who knows? You’ll have to go and see for yourself to find out. TICKETS!
