Escape From Victoria
It’s 1997, the future. Snake Plisskin must clear his name, and if he feels like it, save Canada. The Canadian comedy hit of 2024 finally comes to Victoria! A visual feast with heart-pounding action sequences, uproarious physical comedy, and dynamic shadow puppets, "Escape From Victoria" is sure to be the action-comedy event of the summer. Rod Peter Jr. ("Kitt and Jane," "The War of 1812") teams up with Tamlynn Bryson ("Bedwetter," "(in)decision") to deliver a high-octane rollercoaster of entertainment. The dynamic duo masterfully pay tribute to genre films while infusing their own comedic twist that promises to leave audiences in stitches. This must-see event will leave you gasping for breath, wiping away tears of laughter, and relishing in the sheer joy of live theatre.
