Playwright  Erin Courtney  talks about writing The Service Road

“I was so excited when Kalle and Cory commissioned me to write a piece for them.  I admire their work because they embrace spectacle by collaborating with visual artists and because Cory is a visual artist himself.  They wanted the play to be for two actors and Cory told me he felt more at ease playing a supernatural creature than playing a regular man.  Interestingly, many of the supernatural creatures that I wrote are now being played by puppets that are puppeted by Caroline and Claire, and it turns out that Cory is amazing in his portrayal of the four different male characters he plays.  It has also been wonderful to watch Kalle craft her performance of a character who is so helpful and yet so haunted.  Two things surprised me about the piece – the fact that it became a loose adaptation of the Hercules story and the level of darkness (and compassion) that we opted to go for in the narrative.”
