Shadow Theatre Presents: An Iliad
2026-02-08 | Varscona Theatre, 10329 83 Ave, Edmonton, AB, Canada
An Iliad is a modern-day retelling of Homer’s classic. Poetry and humour, the ancient tale of the Trojan War and the modern world collide in this captivating theatrical experience. The setting is simple: the empty theatre. The time is now; the present moment. The lone figure onstage is a storyteller – possibly Homer, possibly one of the many bards who followed in his footsteps. He is fated to tell this story throughout history.

Fringe Theatre Presents: Evie and Alfie: A Very British Love Story
2026-02-14 19:30 - 21:30 | Fringe Theatre Arts Barns, 10330 84 Avenue, Edmonton, AB, T6E2G9
ONE NIGHT ONLY – February 14, 2026… Experience this brand-new comedic play from multiple award-winning FRINGE LEGENDS Alex Dallas (Horseface, Sensible Footwear) and Jimmy Hogg (The Potato King).
Evie & Alfie is a romantic comedy, a love story. At once a hilarious examination of enduring relationships—the ties that bind us together—and a nostalgic photo album that shows us the lives led by the titular couple.
We are introduced to the elderly retirees in their home, as they potter about making tea, bird-spotting and wondering whether Tuesday is in fact the day that the bins go out. Then, through a series of flashbacks, we see snippets of their lives—when they first met, a marriage proposal, their first foreign holiday, and birth of a child.
As we bounce between the past and the present, we learn the full-extent of what it takes to make their relationship work. Genuinely hilarious and relatable, Evie & Alfie is a story full of wit, verve, and heart.
