TORONTO'S
FACTORY THEATRE TURNS 50 BY LOUISE NUNN
Twin sisters, Sugar and Grace Ducharme, sit in their house in the northernmost reaches of British Columbia on their 30th birthday. All had been well in their remote two-person world until today when an unusual man arrives at their doorstep. Is he a potential murderer or a love interest? The sisters aren’t certain. Surely, nothing will go wrong if they invite him in to share in the celebrations. Sounds odd, intriguing and alternative? This is the classic Canadian gothic play, Trout Stanley, which will be performed at Factory Theatre as part of its upcoming 2019/20 season. This season marks the “Big 5-0” for the Factory Theatre, and to mark the occasion, the season’s lineup features reimagined classics from across the company’s past, coupled with some innovative new works from contemporary Canadian playwrights, all tied together under the banner, “50 Seasons and Still Fiercely Canadian.”
