On November 22, 2016, at Club 120 in Toronto, Loose TEA Theatre presents a radically re-visioned Carmen-a refreshing change from the familiar perspective of Bizet's opera. Carmen is often classed as one of the few elite works in the Western music tradition that occupies the mantle of collective cultural memory - and is performed unchanged. With a new English libretto by Alaina Viau, and with the collaboration of sound artist SlowPitchSound, Carmen will be presented not as a love story, but a class story. It is a gendered story, one that is driven by inequality and abuses of power-by conflict, struggle, and hope.

As reported by The Globe and Mail, following the Theatre La Licorne's production of FREDY in Montreal this past spring, the playwright, Annabel Souter, is facing the question of how much the play should be adapted for future productions, due to criticisms from the family and supporters of Fredy Villanueva, the title character and basis for the play. Villanueva was a young Honduran refugee who was shot by Montreal police in 2008, and his family feels that the play in its current state is more sympathetic to the state and to police, than it is to Villanueva.
