Easter Island.
Is it a confounding mystery or one of the greatest environmental tragedies
of modern times? The 8th Land is a new Canadian play written in
the classic Greek style of Aeschylus with music and dance, masks and chorus.
Set on Easter Island in a time when the plentiful palm forests of
that land have been reduced to one lone palm tree, the last ruler of the"Eighth
Land" contemplates the future of his people and his obligations to
his gods. |

From
Volcano (The Four Horsemen) in Toronto comes Goodness, winner of the Carol
Tambor/Best of Edinburgh Award and a Scotsman Fringe First Award, Edinburgh
Fringe Festival. Althea has survived genocide in an unnamed country. Now
she is a prison guard entrusted with the responsibility of protecting
the mass murderer who devastated her people. Every day she is forced to
answer a terrible question: can a murderer suffering from Alzheimer’s
Disease be held accountable for his actions? If the courts cannot act...
can she? Playwright Michael Redhill appears as a character in his own
play and battles with his lead character in an ethical dilemma for our
times
From
Crow’s Theatre and Mammalian Diving Reflex in Toronto comes [boxhead],
written by Darren O’Donnell and directed by Chris Abraham. A young
geneticist wakes up to discover a box secured to his head; he finds all
thoughts come from God, all his words come from the devil and his desire
for love is a habit acquired from the movies. Sound familiar? [boxhead]
is an existential, symbolist romp from the creator of Diplomatic Immunities
and Haircuts by Children.
Whitehorse’s
Sour Brides Theatre asks, “What happens when tragedy shatters your
happy marriage? Do you withdraw into the bottle? Into the television?
Into endless support groups?” So Many Doors by Celia McBride marks
the debut of Northern theatre at Magnetic North. In the Far North, grief
divides four people and isolates them more effectively than geography
ever could.
