Gift Wrap This: Publishing Brilliant!

Are you like us in that you’re already thinking ahead to those frenzied pre-Christmas shopping sprees? No doubt there’s a “problem person” in your life who has it all. Well this year why not breakaway from the usual “links of spiced meat in a gift wrapped ceramic pot” solution?

Why, we have just the thing: In December 2004, Brilliant! The Blinding Enlightenment of Nikola Tesla will be available for the first time in a handsome soft cover edition. Yes, after 9 years, 5 separate productions and precisely 19,366 hours of writing and re-writing, Brilliant! is finally being published!

Through it’s many manifestations the pages of Brilliant! have been sliced open, disemboweled, and stitched together so often it had become near as pretty as Frankenstein’s bride. But in September our beloved monster went under the knife for the final time as we prepared her to meet the public in a brand new outfit.

Think of the smiles and nods as your “problem person” unwraps his own copy of this cherished classic. Imagine his delight as he spends the day plotting his very own production. This will certainly be a Christmas he will never forget. So why not order your copy today? Simply give us a call at the Electric Company: 604-253-4222 or contact our publishers Brindle and Glass: 403-252-7632. (And yes, we do bulk orders.)

One of Calgary’s hottest independent publishing houses, Brindle and Glass also publishes the work of local theatre star T.J. Dawe. Read their website and excellent online magazine!

Note: Large inflatable sphere/Serbian Accent/pigeon seed and AC/DC cassette tapes are not included.

Order your specially signed copy now! Only $16.95 + shipping & handling for a total of $20.00 Cdn. Please make cheque payable to Electric Company Theatre Society
