Horribly Sunny
No point of view is safe…from the Sun.
(Workshopped in July 2009, Dorothy Somerset Studio Theatre)
Seven Tyrants Theatre presents a new rock musical based on the wacky and indefinable music of Vancouver’s Two Apple Tobacco.
Created by Two Apple Tobacco and Seven Tyrants Theatre, Horribly Sunny is the story of a powerful media mogul and financial player who, through a series of unexpected crises, begins to question his ways.
Over the course of a seemingly average network news day, we meet a host of electrifying characters as we delve into the most conniving and embarrassing recesses of humanity. Whether the issue is global climate change or your neighbourhood sex den, Horribly Sunny is a comprehensive exposure of today.

Phase 1: July 2009 Workshop
For three weeks in July 2009, Seven Tyrants Theatre spearheaded a preliminary workshop of Horribly Sunny. During this workshop, we worked in collaboration with Two Apple Tobacco to find the essence of a theatrical structure spanning their unique songs.
The 2009 workshop involved Daniel Deorksen, Kayla Deorksen, Jessica Harvey, Jordan Kling, Courtney Lancaster, David Newham, Courtney So and Vern Shewchuk. It included a free showing of the phase’s discoveries featuring Two Apple Tobacco live: July 18 2009 at 8 pm in the Dorothy Somerset Studio Theatre, UBC.
