Citizen Marc

Thanks to Mycos for passing this link on to us. A new play based on the career of Marc Emery will be premiering in Canada soon. A reading was recently held of the unstaged work.

A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to Emery's legal defence fund. Now living in Vancouver, the 47-year-old pot crusader is fighting the United States government's attempt to extradite him to face charges of drug trafficking and money laundering.

Citizen Marc: The Adventures of Marc Emery, produced by Christopher Doty and directed by John Gerry, will launch its premiere stage run at the Arts Project, Jan. 27, 2006.

Tickets for that two-week engagement will go on sale at the Grand Theatre in November.

Sounds like a must see if you're in the area.
