Tim Carlson joins me now. He’s on to discuss Theatre Conspiracy’s upcoming production of Foreign Radical. The critically acclaimed show was one of the city’s most lauded productions in 2015. In it, thirty participants are invited into a theatrical game that explores security, profiling, freedom of expression, and privacy in the age of cyber surveillance. The participants collaborate, investigate, debate and spy on each other. I’ll get Mr. Carlson who conceived of the show to tell us more. The show runs 06-11 February 2017 at Studio 1398 on Granville Island. Visit www.conspiracy.ca [1] for tickets and information.
