From legendary Canadian artist Walter Borden,
The Last Epistle of Tightrope Time is a deeply personal reflection on Walter’s journey of life.
An invigorating autobiographical performance Walter re-visits the show, initially written and performed in 1986 as Tightrope Time Ain’t Nuthin’ More Than Some Itty Bitty Madness Between Your Twilight & Your Dawn. Through a solo performance featuring 10 characters, Walter explores homosexuality from a Black perspective and offers an experience of the resiliency of the human spirit.
The performance runs approximately 90 Min with no intermission.
A Tarragon Theatre/NAC presentation of the NAC/Neptune Theatre production.
