In the aftermath of the deadly 1989 Montreal Massacre, Benoit and Kathleen do everything they can to help their beloved son cope with his guilt and rage... but Jean's young life becomes unglued. Using humor and the humdrum of everyday life, Murphy intuitively moves backwards in time to the fateful day when Jean, the only ray of hope in this working-class family, escaped the deadly shooting rampage at a Montreal university... or thought he did. This searing drama on courage, heroism and despair explores the long private shadow that public violence casts.

The production team for THE DECEMBER MAN (L''homme de Décembre) includes: Eleanor Kahn (scenic design), Sarah Jo White (costume design), Matthew Gawryk (lighting design), Andrew Rovner (sound design), Mike Sanow (technical director) and Anna Micale (stage manager).
