WHAT YOU WANT
An Outrageous Sex Comedy (18+) for Those Who Haven’t Grown Up Yet

After last year’s smash hit, Biographies of the Dead & Dying, MachineFair returns to the Vancouver International Fringe Festival with What You Want a play about Vancouver and its current inhabitants.

In 2001, Andrew Templeton returned to his hometown of Vancouver after a fifteen year absence. What You Want is the almost-true story of what he found. Weaving a one-man show through the stories of four characters, the play probes the sexual desires and foibles of a city that is at once real and imagined. A play that proves you can't go home because it isn’t there anymore.

Featuring: Rachel Aberle, Gillian Bennett, Russell Bennett, Sean Tyson

Writer & Director: Andrew Templeton

Assistant Director & Designer: Kyla Gardiner

Producer: Jill Margo

Stage Manager: Jo Gray

Vancouver: this is what you want.

Praise for MachineFair’s last Fringe show:

"Quite possibly one of the best plays I have ever seen...an excellent mix of suspense and thriller."

~ Alex Hutt, Press+1

"This is a smart, hour-long investigation into what it takes to be a writer: the sacrifices that the choice entails, the line between where imagination and madness lies."

~ Marsha Lederman, Globe and Mail
