Old Stock is being re-mounted at The Belfry following a well-received appearance during the company’s 2019 SPARK Festival.

When: Thursday, April 21 through Sunday, May 14The work of Halifax playwright Hannah Moscovitch will be familiar to Victorians, with productions of her award-winning work — up to and including last year’s Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes — making their way to The Belfry Theatre on a semi-regular basis.

At some point during the upcoming four-week run, Caplan said he will have played The Wanderer, the show’s top hat-wearing narrator with a Tom Waits-ian growl, in more than 400 productions of Old Stock. There wasn’t much delineation between job descriptions during the creation of Old Stock, with Moscovitch, Caplan and Barry each adding to the story and songs included therein. Caplan is used to working in unusual arenas. His 2016 album, Birds With Broken Wings, was the result of marathon studio sessions, with 35 guest musicians and collaborators coming and going over a three-week period.

“I can tell you that when Christian asked me to participate in this project, I was a little bit nervous about the whole thing. I have a reverence for theatre, and I’m really afraid of making bad theatre. But when Hannah [a Governor General’s Award winner] became the third member of the team, things moved along quickly. It was like, ‘Oh, Michael Jordan is going to be on the basketball team?’ I think we can play with this. She’s a superstar.
