Burning Bluebeard

An Edmonton Actors Theatre production
Burning Bluebeard
by Jay Torrence

Inspired by a true story, Burning Bluebeard tells the tale of six singed clowns who emerge from the burnt remains of a theatre to perform their spectacular Christmas Pantomime. This time, they hope to finally reach the true happy ending of their second act and avoid the fateful fire that destroyed Chicago’s Iroquois Theatre in 1903. This Sterling Award Winning hit returns just in time for the holidays!
