On August 8, 2008, in Aberdeen, South Dakota, two strangers come together in a Super 8 Motel bar. Over the course of a blurry night, full of rye & ginger, they slowly learn each other’s secrets. But as the clock ticks toward morning, will this pair of career loners find, in each other, a kindred spirit… or will this just be another evening at the Super 8?
Calgary’s Swallow-a-Bicycle Theatre – who wowed audiences last year with their Freak Show in a tent – returns to the Edmonton Fringe with the award-winning production of Super 8.

“An engaging, lovely play.” – The Calgary Herald

“Super 8 is a super little comedy.” – The Calgary Sun

“This utterly recommended play creates a true sense of people passing each other like hands on a clock.” – The Edmonton Journal

WINNER – Discovery Prize, 2011 Alberta Playwriting Competition
