Web Series Spotlight: All’s Fair Play

Last June, as part of my ongoing web series spotlight, I paid tribute to the online series “The Autobiography of Jane Eyre” that hails from Canada’s KalamaTea Productions.

KalamaTea Productions has now launched their second production, their very first original comedy (inspired by Shakespearean elements) called All’s Fair Play, that debuted back on June 21.

All’s Fair Play takes place over the course of less than 24 hours, telling the story of Becca and Liam, a young couple whose love and impending nuptials become the subject of contention for their friends on the night of their combined bachelor/bachelorette party. But the evening takes a turn for the weird and shenanigans ensue as everyone has to deal with the consequences of their decisions.

Viewers who watched “The Autobiography of Jane Eyre” will recognize faces from that production in “All’s Fair Play,” as well as some fresh new faces. This homegrown Vancouver company is comprised of an all-female production team and a mostly female writing team.

The cast includes Erika Babins (who also serves an Executive Producer on the project), Donna Bozorgerbahimi, Elina May Chidley, Xavier De Salaberry, Randi Edmundson, Robin Gadsby, Imelda Gaborno, Alysson Hall (who had the lead role in “The Autobiography of Jane Eyre”), Lucas Hall, Emily Henney, Jasleen Kaur, Kyle Kouwenhoven, Matt Reznek, Fojan Nixie Shabrang and Courtney Shields.

The writers on this project are Christina Bialik, Ryan Bright, Chris Coutts, Kyle D’Odorico and Emily-Rose Kilpatrick and the crew includes Nessa Aref, Ren Boggio, Kathryn Hall, Sinead Hughes and Marco Perri.
