Possible Worlds: A Play by John Mighton at F. R. Matthews Theatre at the University of Calgary

Possible Worlds is about a 'risk analyst' who believes he can live in more than one place at the same time. In a series of parallel encounters George meets his lover Joyce, who either recognizes him or doesn't. The play opens when two detectives discover his corpse, minus its brain, and launch an investigation. The two lovers experience a baffling series of relationships together, each one just slightly and tantalizingly different, as Detectives Berkley and Williams track a serial killer who appears to be stealing brains. The play uses parallel narratives to speculate about questions of identity and the role of imagination in love.

Possible Worlds premiered in 1990 at Canadian Stage in Toronto. It has subsequently been performed across the country and internationally.

Winner of the 1992 Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama.
