Written by avant garde artist Robert Ashley, later to be repurposed in his opus Perfect Lives, Private Parts centres on a nameless bank robber,; breathing in the air of his motel room. He receives a few telephone calls and unpacks his bag, for a drink and some busywork, awaiting a shift for the evening. As the night grows deeper he reflects on his day, and the place where he lives, the culture that shapes it and the people around him.

Foreseeing an Americana growing under influence of arrant consumerism, Ashley crafts a portrait of the midwest that, although endlessly self-reflexive, holds a subtlety in its setting that makes a vivid and gracious canvas for sly, quiet humour and rich, layered metatextualism. A generous work to behold, as to reflect on, performed with intimacy; in low light, and quiet. Music will be provided by Ari Robinson and the text performed by Dylan Roberts, a longstanding actor in the Canadian theatre.
