SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH – 3:30pm TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH – 9:30pm FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH – 10:30pm CLOSING: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH – 5:30pm “You fools!” After years of plotting, evil mastermind Eugenius finds he may actually succeed in taking over the world, if he can only defeat his worst enemy… This twisted new comedy fills in the dirty details left out by Marvel and DC for an unmitigated and uncensored look into a day in the life of a comic book bad guy. Local playwright DANIEL GALIANO rips into modern superhero mania with a warped cynicism that could only have come from Commercial Drive. Moonlighting as a manager at The Rio Theatre, he’s on the front lines with the obsessive fanboys and fangirls lining up around the block to take in the latest Stan Lee-inspired CGI shit-storm. Galiano brings his twisted take on what super-heroism is really like home to The Drive at The Cultch Historic Theatre with The Antagonist. Vancouver Actor/Comedian/Musician SEAN AMSING aka KABOOM ATOMIC plays Eugenius, a supervillain who, like the rest of us, really just wants to be cool. “What good is the power of world domination when nobody wants to invite you to the pub?” Amsing’s off-the-cuff irreverence paints a portrait of the most all-powerful douchebag the world has ever seen. “When I’m finished, you’ll be sorry!” The 2016 Vancouver Fringe Fest will be the World Premiere of The Antagonist
