2017 - THE GOOD DOCTOR HOLMES & HIS CHILDREN OF GOD

In 1894 the bodies of two little girls were discovered in a Toronto basement. This was just the tip of the iceberg.
Julian R. Munds' new play puts us in touch with one of the most prolific serial killers in history Dr. Henry Howard Holmes who built a hotel in Chicago for the singular purpose of the destruction of human life. Charged in the deaths of 9 individuals, Dr. H. H. Holmes is thought to be connected with more than two hundred disappearances of people during the Chicago World's Fair of 1893.
In "The Good Doctor Holmes..", Munds takes us into the interrogation room, puts HH at the forefront, in all his genius and all his horror, and weaves a labyrinthine fantasia that Hitchcock and Poe would lust after.

Biography

Who is this guy? And Why should I care?

Julian R. Munds calls himself a phantom of the Canadian cultural scene; in that he’s never had an outright titanic hit, but many people have felt his presence.  He was trained through the University of Toronto and Sheridan Institute of Technology. He is a professional actor who has been featured on Opera, Musical, and Theatre stages. He specialises in Meyerhold Biomechanics and has a background in Grotowski movement studies. He has also directed many plays and written some as well. You can purchase his work off Amazon: Changeling: A Grand Guignol for Murderous Times (featured in University syllabi as a Canadian play of note), and The Good Doctor Holmes and His Children of God, which was hailed as a ‘Canadian Classic.’

Julian believes that every person has within them the ability to be an artist on the level of the greats no matter their experience. He believes they only need the right set of rules and nurturing to embrace their inner creative soul.
