Circlesnake Productions at The Tarragon Workspace Presents SLIP

Circlesnake examines memory loss, identity, and storytelling in the remount of its critically acclaimed mystery Slip, running March 24rd to April 2nd at The Tarragon Theatre Workspace, 30 Bridgman Ave.

Slip follows Detective Lynn Barrett as she tries to piece together a mysterious death, while trying to hold on to her fading memory. Her attempts to uncover the truth are interrupted by increasingly intrusive memories that interact with the narrative of the murder. Struggling to discern reality from memory and memory from fiction, Lynn risks being forced into obsolescence by her decaying mental state.

The original Slip creative team is joined by award-winning theatre creator and actor Nicole Stamp, who will be taking over for original cast member Paloma Nuñez. Slip is currently nominated for three 2016 My Theatre Awards including Outstanding Production, Outstanding New Work and Outstanding Actress (Alex Paxton-Beesley).
