Beware the sincere stranger.
Extremism doesn't kick the door down on arrival: it waits for an invite, then makes itself at home.
Family, betrayal and the inescapable presence of the past reverberate through this dark, razor-sharp satire, one of the new year's most anticipated productions. Winter Solstice features a notable ensemble of Canadian stage and screen stars: Frank Cox-O'Connell, Kira Guloien, Cyrus Lane, Diego Matamoros and Nancy Palk.
"Winter Solstice is one of the most thrilling, audacious and timely plays I have encountered," says director Alan Dilworth. "So we gathered a team of theatrical giants to tackle this breath-taking text which is formally and narratively remarkable. You must see this play."
The Winter Solstice creative team features set and lighting designer Lorenzo Savoini, Costume Designer Ming Wong, composer and sound designer Debashis Sinha, associate Costume Designer Ellie Koffman, stage manager Sarah Miller, assistant stage manager Alysse Szatkowski, and production manager & technical director Rick Banville.
It's Christmas Eve, and a charming, unexpected guest arrives at the home of a polite bourgeois family. While holiday tensions simmer, the well-mannered stranger seduces his liberal hosts with a vision of a simpler world order...
