Botticelli in the fire
A LOVE STORY, A REBELLION, A MIRROR TO OUR TIMES
Written by Jordan Tannahill, Directed by Clare Preuss
Produced by Downstage with the generous support of Hit & Myth Productions
From the mind of Jordan Tannahill, one of Canada’s most celebrated playwrights, comes a bold reimagining of Renaissance Florence. The past collides with the present in this extravagant and dangerous spectacle. In a world where artists drive sports cars, text their lovers, and play squash in between revolutions, one man’s passion for beauty could ignite a political firestorm. As society teeters on the edge, can art survive the flames?
Please Note: The play contains scenes with nudity, sex and violence – recommended for 16+

about US.
Hit & Myth Productions is a professional independent theatre company based in Calgary, Alberta. Hit & Myth was established in 2006, and since that time has produced over 30 professional shows, engaging numerous local actors, directors and designers.
Hit & Myth has produced musicals, comedies and cutting edge dramas, a genre that we lovingly call “commercial alternativism.” From musicals like Urinetown and Evil Dead, to hard hitting dramas like Martin Mcdonagh’s The Pillowman and David Mamet’s Race, to dark comedies like Neil Labute’s reasons to be pretty; to vibrant adaptations of both Shakespeare (Titus Andronicus and All’s Well That Ends Well) as well as Shakespeare inspired (William Shakespeare’s Land of the Dead and Equivocation) works. Hit & Myth seeks to entertain, while always packing a serious theatrical punch.
Hit & Myth collaborates with small to mid-sized sized theatre companies and independent artists to co-produce theatre that is provocative, modern, sensational, and above all else, entertaining. Our productions strive to reflect the dynamic and diverse theatrical community of Calgary and Calgary audiences.
Joel Cochrane is an actor and the Artistic Producer of Hit & Myth, an independent theater company in Calgary, Alberta. Joel has produced and performed in numerous shows, ranging from modern to classical to alternative.
