About the artist/company
Bill Zaget is a playwright, performance-poet and an actor (as Zag Dorison). His play “Rarebit Fiends” was one of the hits of a previous Edmonton Fringe. His solo show, “Renfield or, Dining at the Bughouse,” based on his award-winning short story of the same name, was performed at the Montreal Fringe and in Los Angeles at a major Stoker centenary event. He was a regular contributor of short theatre pieces in the early years of the Rhubarb Festival of Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto. After having lived there for many years, he moved to Montreal in 2015.
