One Actor - Another Show

  BOOK RELEASE: Paul Rapsey’s fourth mystery novel, Deadly Sea Weed , has just been released. Like his first three novels, the story takes place in sleepy, small-town Nova Scotia. It is as much about the delightful characters in it as it is about the mystery that slowly unfolds. Although the tale involves some serious issues, it is written in the author’s easy conversational style and in a lighthearted manner. One can feel his love of Nova Scotia and its people. The book is available from Amazon Books as both a soft cover and as an e-book. However, because of Paul’s busy schedule, (he is starring in Eugene Ionesco’s “Exit the King”) the formal book launch in Nova Scotia will be on April 8, 2025 at the Mad Hatter Book Store in Annapolis Royal from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.   

"The Little Wooden House" (2024) has just been jury slected for consideration by the LGBTQ Unbordered International Film Festival (USA). The script was originally performed live by Paul Rapsey in May 2024. The filmed version came out in the summer of that year. This is the story of loss and discovery. Although it is a fictional story, it is based on a real incident that occured while the playwright was on holiday in Cuba.

Paul Rapsey's independent film, Desperately Seeking Samuel , has just been jury selected for inclusion in the Alpine Frame Film Festival (Switzerland). The film has already been included in a number of other festivals in Marseille and Montmartre, France; Mallorca, Spain, and Moscow, Russia. It won a merit award in the LGBTQ Unborderered International Film Festval (USA). This is a essentially a dramatic monologue, or rather two monologues starring Paul Rapsey, and Gillian Ormerod; and introducing Katie Yeoman. In a sense, it is an allegory about a decent into "hell" and "resurrection". Paul performed a stage version of the play in Granville Ferry in 2023.
