ARTISTIC MANAGING DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
NEW WAYS OF WORKING
Since we started the Silver Commission program in 2006, we have
premiered a number of our commissions including The Patron Saint of
Stanley Park by Hiro Kanagawa, Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist
Cantata by Veda Hille, Bill Richardson and Amiel Gladstone, and now we
have Farewell, My Lovely by Aaron Bushkowsky. When Rachel Ditor, our
Literary Manager, talked to Aaron about a commission, they discussed
adaptingone of the Raymond Chandler detective novels. From a limited list
that were available for adaptation, Aaron chose Farewell, My Lovely. Soon after, Craig Hall, of
Vertigo Theatre in Calgary became interested, and as Craig had worked for us previously on
another commission (directing Dennis Foon’s adaptation of the Michael Ignatieff’s work Scar
Tissue), a collaboration seemed a good way for Aaron’s work to be seen not only in Vancouver,
but also in Calgary (which has led to another adaptation for Aaron at Vertigo Theatre). The
commission program is one way for us to ensure that the new work we are developing is work
that we are interested in pursuing. We control the development trajectory, which allows us to
have input early on in the creative process. Of course, every playwright has a different way of
working; a different way of responding to dramaturgical input.
Recently, I attended a conference on Volunteerism and the Arts, at which I met a large number
of people who are dedicated to the idea of volunteering. Like, playwrights, each has a different
way of working, but the core of the conference was some of the issues that we deal with on a
daily basis, including the ongoing evolution of artists, the perspective on change and
adaptation that arts organizations face, the importance of volunteers for community
engagement, and the changing landscape of Vancouver where we expect volunteers to take up
the challenge when the public sector is no longer able to cover all situations; all emergencies;
all activities. This change is a shift from what
we are used to, but with more and more
people offering their services as volunteers,
it does seem logical that we might expect
more from them. In Great Britain a concept
called Big Society was set up by the Conservative Government to counter the effects of
the recession and the declining ability of the
central government to solve all problems.
Although volunteers cannot deal with
everything thrown at them, there is a sense
that a shift is taking place, and the
conference I attended was definitely a start
in relation to volunteering for the arts. If you
are interested in joining our volunteer team,
please contact Volunteer Coordinator Katia
Tynan at [email protected].

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
HERE’S TO THE FUTURE!
When I first started at the Arts Club in 2003, we were getting ready to
premiere a new play—just like we are today with Farewell, My Lovely. The
play was The Matka King and the playwright was Anosh Irani. Anosh had
come from UBC to work as an intern for Bill Millerd, our Artistic
Managing Director, and Bill saw in him an understanding of this art form
and a desire to write for it. And write Anosh did. So we premiered his first
play, our 63rd new Canadian play premiere at the Arts Club. It dealt with
some difficult subject matter, so it struggled a bit to find its audience. But that wasn’t the
point of doing it.
We’re a not-for-profit theatre company and it’s our job to support new art, new artists, and
new work. If all we cared about was how a show might sell, then we couldn’t premiere the
number of new shows we do. And what would we lose from that? A lot. Anosh went on from
writing The Matka King to writing two more plays that we produced – Bombay Black and My
Granny the Goldfish. He has also since written three acclaimed novels including The Song of
Kahunsha. That’s a startling artistic output from the young man that once sat on Bill’s office
floor sorting through scripts. And it’s something to celebrate.
As is this play. It’s a new Canadian play. It has a script adapted from Raymond Chandler’s
original novel by local playwright Aaron Bushkowsky. And it’s a Silver Commission, a
programme we started in 2006 to support local playwrights by commissioning them to write
for our stages. And that helps keep artists like Aaron living and breathing members of this
community—telling our stories and contributing to our Canadian culture (the development
of new work is largely driven by donations and we are most appreciative of our donors who
help us fund commissions—thank you!)
In all, we’ve developed and premiered over
90 new Canadian plays in our 51 years; that’s
an average of almost two per season. The full
list is in the back of the Arts Club Anthology
that is available for sale at chapters.ca (and
which, incidentally, includes The Matka
King). It’s a track record to be proud of, and
there is much more to come. Because a
theatre company isn’t truly a theatre
company if it isn’t contributing to the future
of the art form. So here’s to the future!

A NOTE FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT
I’ve never written an adaptation before. I didn’t know if I could, mainly
because I like to think I’m a playwright who has an original style who
can’t and won’t adapt. But after reading Chandler’s Farewell, My Lovely
I quickly realized that I had much in common with Mr. Chandler—
particularly with his prose style. I’m also a novelist and I found his
description and rhythms somewhat similar to my writing. There was
something about the poetry of his words that stood out and his
dialogue. Further, there was something incredibly appealing with his
tragic characters who are always drawn to the dark side. Me too. Maybe
it’s something to do with my German and Russian roots— or my poetry, or even my dark
sense of what’s funny, but I loved his book and I actually found writing the adaptation
completely enthralling. So much of Chandler’s writing exposes our humanity, our frailty, our
need to find love and connection when— we think—the world is conspiring against us.
There’s hope in Chandler’s world, but you will find it in the edges, in the fleeting moments
of love gone wrong and life ending prematurely. It’s the love we all dream about.
~ Aaron Bushkowsky
A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Phillip Marlowe is the archetypical noir hero. His Los Angeles is
populated by con men, weirdos, mobsters, manipulative women,
gamblers, drunks, and a bevy of other despicable characters. In this
dark world Marlowe is the guy with integrity, despite a drinking problem
and enough self-loathing to send most men to an early grave. The
loneliness, the cynical jibes, the battered romance, the love/hate
relationship with the establishment, the grey line between good and
evil; Chandler used these noir tropes to masterful effect and shaped
some of the genre’s classics. It has been a pleasure to partner with
Aaron and the Arts Club in ushering one of these classics to the stage.
~ Craig Hall, Artistic Director of Vertigo Theatre
GENTLE REMINDERS
n It is very important to turn off alarms, phones, and beepers for the duration of the show. If you are concerned
about missing an emergency call, please leave your name or device and seat location with an usher and we
will alert you if a call comes through.
n Please wait to discuss the show at intermission or after the show ends. (Even whispers carry!)
n Please refrain from eating or unwrapping candy and gum in the theatre, as it is a distraction for others.
n If you have a complaint about another guest, please tell the Guest Services Manager rather than approaching
the person yourself. We will be happy to address concerns on your behalf.
n We welcome children old enough to enjoy our productions and tickets must be purchased for any child
attending a performance. Children must be seated where they can be supervised. Babes in arms are not
permitted in the theatre.
n Please be judicious with your use of fragrances, as some patrons have sensitivities.
n A blue box is located in the lobby for discarded programmes and other recyclables.
Please contact the Guest Services Manager at 604.687.5315, ext. 403 if you have suggestions for how we can serve you better.

ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT
Aaron Bushkowsky BA, BEd, MFA, writes and publishes in many genres: film, theatre, poetry,
prose, and non-fiction. A prolific writer, he has seven published books (poetry, drama, short
fiction, and novels) and over 20 professional play productions across Canada and in Europe.
He is also the Artistic Director of Solo Collective, a Vancouver professional theatre company,
and teaches creative writing at Kwantlen, Langara, Vancouver Film School, and Studio 58.
Over the past 13 years, he has been nominated for Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards for
Outstanding Original Play nine times, more than any other playwright. He has won two
Jessies. In 2012, Aaron’s play After Jerusalem was nominated for the prestigious Carol Bolt
Award, Canada’s national playwriting competition. Future productions include The Big Sleep
and Dressing for a Wedding (Solo Collective Theatre, November 2015).
Aaron is also a film-writer. His film The Alley was nominated for five Leo Awards and four of
his feature films have been optioned. He’s also served as playwright-in-residence at
Touchstone Theatre, The Playhouse, Rumble Theatre, and as a resident film-writer at the
Canadian Film Centre in Toronto. His latest novel Curtains for Roy—a story about the
Vancouver theatre world—debuted in the fall of 2014 to rave reviews and was selected to two
Top Ten lists including the Vancouver Sun Book Club’s list.
Aaron lives in East Vancouver with his wonderful, and talented, wife Diana, and his lovely
Australian Shepherd, Vibe—a real “gift” from Mountain Ash Breeders of Salt Spring Island.
Aaron thanks his fantastic agent Colin Rivers of Marquis Entertainment (Toronto) for his
guidance and work. Aaron also thanks Rachel Ditor (and Bill Millerd, and the Arts Club) for
the idea and the eventual commission (and production) to write this play, and also Craig
Hall of Vertigo Theatre who directed it—and,
of course, the designers and actors who
made the show come to life. He also thanks
Raymond Chandler for his incredible words
and for his wonderful palate of crazy,
complicated characters. They are, indeed,
lovely.

ARTS CLUB THEATRE COMPANY STAFF
Founded in 1964, the Arts Club Theatre Company first held performances at the downtown Seymour Stage. When the re-development of Vancouver’s
False Creek area began in the late 1970s, the company was given the opportunity to build a theatre on Granville Island. By the time the Arts Club
held the gala opening of the Granville Island Stage in October 1979, the Arts Club was a fully professional company presenting its 16th season of
plays. The company is now in its 51st season.
