​DARK TRAVELLER 



Canada's first radio play created by
​

incarcerated artists

William Head on Stage prison theatre company (or WHoS) and SNAFU Society of Unexpected Spectacles are excited to release their latest co-production, Canada’s first podcast series, Dark Traveller. The podcast consists of 3 episodes; each is approximately 40 minutes. It features the team performing the radio play The Northern Lights, a science-fiction radio play initially written in 1949 by Wyllis Cooper, behind the scenes interviews with the incarcerated artists about the process of creating the podcast and an original sequel inspired by the old radio show, and a mix of creative writing inspired by the Northern Lights themes & workshops.

ABOUT US

​SNAFU artists create live theatre, puppet theatre, and prison theatre in lək̓wəŋən territory.
​We also tour across Canada to theatres and festivals. This performing arts company also collaborates with William Head on Stage Prison Theatre (WHoS).  SNAFU is led by artists Kathleen Greenfield and Ingrid Hansen, who, from time to time, teach specialty workshops in puppetry, play-building, viewpoints, and physical theatre.
