JENNIFER IREDALE & PETER GREY'S / HOUSE CONCERT, 17 Cambridge St., Victoria, BC
Bookworm is the biographical story of my childhood-time with my librarian/bookseller/history teacher father, in the years after my mother died. It’s about the power of reading aloud, and the gift of being read to. It’s a story about the stories my father told and read to me when I was a motherless boy, and the ways in which those nightly reading-sessions created the man I am today.
Bookworm is a series of monologues featuring myself, along with Ray Bradbury, Spider-Man, Rod Serling, and the Minotaur, braiding together to a climax which even I couldn’t possibly have predicted, wrapped into a single hour.
Pick of the Fringe at the 2012 Victoria and Vancouver Fringe festivals and Producer’s Choice at the London Fringe.
Better than its lovely reviews and sold-out houses, Bookworm's greatest success was cross-generational: “Fathers bring your sons. Sons bring your fathers.” – View Magazine, Hamilton, ON In many cases audience members returned second and even third viewings, bringing first their children and then their parents. "What a gift. Raymond's performance is at once intimate, openhearted, and evangelical." – The Georgia Straight, Vancouver, BC
Written and performed by Corin Raymond Dramaturged by TJ Dawe Directed by Morgan Jones Phillips Audience: Age 12 & Up

A word about Corin Raymond's Dirty Mansions:
Two and a half years in the making, weighing in at ten songs and two bonus tracks produced by Winnipeg's Scott Nolan, accompanied by 264 pages of chords, lyrics, stories and art, this album release celebrates a project that's like Raymond's Paper Nickels, Bookworm, and his JUNO-nominated Hobo Jungle Fever Dreams all rolled into ONE. As well as being his finest song collection, Dirty Mansions is Raymond's first book launch! We hope you'll join Corin along with guitarist Mike T. Kerr, upright bassist Joe Phillips, keyboardist Treasa Levasseur, and Winnipeg's Joanna Miller on drums for this celebration that delves deeper into Raymond's literary-musical hybrid world than we've gone before. Magic guaranteed.
