NINE

Presented by Little Triangle
The Reginald, Seymour Centre
September 2019

Set in 1960s Italy, NINE follows film director Guido Contini as he suffers a midlife crisis fuelled by his crumbling marriage and a smattering of unsuccessful films. His failure at the box office is mirrored in his life behind the silver screen—caught in a web of romantic entanglements, involving his wife, his mistress, his muse, and every girl in Venice. Haunted by images and memories from his past and bereft of an idea for a new film, Guido watches as his reality blurs into fantasy. The women in his life, emerge from the shadows of his mind to serenade, seduce or scold him. Though his body is clearing forty, his mind is nearing ten; Guido must grow up if he is to recapture his creativity and save his marriage.

"An impressive production from an indie company"

"Little Triangle has delivered a highly polished production of this rarely seen musical."
