In the meantime, here are five things to do in Vancouver today, from the labyrinthine tale of a femme fatale to the subversive story of a country wife.
For more things happening around town, check out our events section.
Femme Fatale
- What: Centred around a confident but unreliable mystery woman, this 2002 labyrinthine neo-noir is arguably director Brian De Palma’s most underrated movie. Described as “elegant and slippery” by Roger Ebert, this is one not to miss.

The Country Wife
A promo shot for The Country Wife (Ensemble Theatre Company)
- What: The Ensemble Theatre Company presents this sexually frank play, as ready to skewer marriage as it is infidelity. Penned by William Wycherley, its linguistic energy, brilliant wit, naughtiness and complexity have made it a staple of the modern stage.
