A shocking play about marital infidelity and the devastation of a family. America’s great provocateur, Edward Albee, invites us to a contemporary Greek tragedy with his trademark subversive humour.
Starring Derek Boyes as Ross; Raquel Duffy as Stevie; Albert Schultz as Martin and Paolo Santalucia as Billy; Directed by Alan Dilworth; Set and Video Design by Lorenzo Savoini; Costume Design by Alexandra Lord; Lighting Design by Kimberly Purtell; Sound Design by Thomas Ryder Payne; Stage Managed by Meghan Callan assisted by Gregory McLaughlin - Baillie Theatre at Soulpepper Theatre Company, 2017.
"Alexandra Lord’s hyper-contemporary costumes suggest the play is happening now and this brings other possible readings to the fore: Martin as a powerful man toppled by his uncontrollable desires can’t but resonate post-Weinstein, and the central characters’ conflicted relationship to the pastoral, which they at once fetishize and want to dominate, feels all the more acute in the context of climate change." - Karen Fricker, The Toronto Star, Nov 8 2017
