Western Gold Theatre and Theatre at UBC present the premiere of James Fagan Tait’s adaptation of the novel Old Goriot, by Honoré de Balzac.

This theatrical adaptation of Balzac’s utterly gripping masterpiece builds on the success of Tait and composer Joelysa Pankanea’s unforgettable adaptations of Crime and Punishment and A Christmas Carol. The world premiere of this innovative co-production christens UBC’s 100th Anniversary year.

Balzac has been called the Shakespeare of the novel and with Old Goriot he sets the stage for a modern counterpart to King Lear, a father so blindly devoted to his undeserving daughters that his tragic realization—'I loved them too much for them to love me at all'—comes too late. A key novel in his Comédie Humaine, Old Goriot is a witty and profound treatment of two consuming obsessions: money and love. Original music by Joelysa Pankanea deftly illuminates this timeless tale, from the depths of sorrow and despair to moments of great beauty and transcendence.
