Talisman Theatre Production Presents CLEAN SLATE
By: A.A. Cristi Feb. 15, 2019
In Clean Slate six friends gather to celebrate life, and death in a brave, messy, and above all authentic portrait of millennial sisterhood. This examination of young women reclaiming their sexuality is a celebration of Montreal's emerging talent and makes Clean Slate a play to watch out for in 2019.
Talisman Theatre's March 2019 production of Clean Slate is a translation of Catherine Chabot's award-winning play Table rase, first presented in 2014 at and since reprised twice due to popular demand. Chabot is a graduate of the Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Montreal, and is winner of Best Text from the Quebec Association of Theatre Critics for Table rase (AQCT/2016).
How do we make meaning of our lives? How do young women express their sexuality? What is the value of community and friendship in our digitized world? These questions draw me into the world of Clean Slate: a visceral and raw examination of life, friendship, personal choice, sexual expression and the creation of a meaningful life. -Leslie Baker, Director of Clean Slate
