Witness to a Conga and Other Plays

"In 2008, Teatro La Quindicina returned to the Edmonton Fringe with a buoyant new Stewart Lemoine comedy, Happy Toes. While light on its feet, Lemoine's exploration of happiness, what it means to have a sense of possibility and what it means to lose it, had a palette that didn't shy away from sad and wistful shades.

These rich, warm nuances reappeared in The Oculist's Holiday (2009) and Witness to a Conga (2010), where comedy, regret, sadness, disappointment, and desperation come together to reveal an emotional amplitude and maturity that gives 'comedy' complex new dimensions."

– Liz Nicholls, Edmonton Journal

Witness to a Conga is the winner of three 2011 Sterling awards, including Best Production, Best New Work, and Best Actor for Edmonton's Jeff Haslam.
