Social politics. Generational divides. A birthday celebration gone awry...
The WORLD PREMIERE of The Watch List by Rachel Aberle
Opening February 6th at the BackStage Stage
100 Spadina Cres E, Saskatoon
Previews: Feb 4th and 5th
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When Michelle and Todd Milne (and Todd’s outspoken mother Irene) welcome their son Cyrus and his girlfriend Amy for a visit, the revelations that unfold could tear the family apart. In turns hilarious and heartbreaking, The Watch List is a gripping look at what happens when idealism crashes into real life.
“The Watch List is a play that should be done now. It’s highly engaging, and presents its topical subject matter with humour and heart. At the Banff Centre, it was one of the top choices to be invited to do a residency and the reading presented while here was funny and sad and demanded discussion.”
– Amiel Gladstone, Director of Theatre Arts – Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity
Commissioned by The Belfry Theatre, Victoria BC.
Developed with the support of the Banff Centre for the Arts Slaight Theatre Creation Residency.
