About the event

BACON by Sophie Swithinbank
This is the Canadian premiere of this recent multi-award-winning British play that took London by storm in 2023. Year 10's first day back at school: Mark is new and too scared to make friends. Darren is out of control and too scary to make friends. Worlds apart, but more similar than they realize, the pair form a complex and manipulative relationship. And before they know it, they're embarking on a dangerous experiment that will alter the course of their lives. Sophie Swithinbank's play Bacon is an unflinching and unexpectedly humorous look at masculinity, sexuality and power, through the dizzying lens of youth.

“utterly compelling… beautiful to watch” The Stage London
