Rural England, 1759. Halley’s Comet burns in the sky, and a young woman is sentenced to hang. But when she tries to escape the noose by claiming to be pregnant, a jury of twelve women are gathered to decide whether she is telling the truth. As tensions rise, their task becomes a reckoning: with the law, with power, and with the roles they’re forced to play in a world that silences them.

​

Tony-Award Nominee Lucy Kirkwood’s The Welkin (Chimerica, The Children) is a bold and blistering courtroom drama—by turns darkly comic and quietly devastating—about justice, duty, and righteous dissent.

CONTENT WARNING: THE WELKIN contains scenes of violence and mature content, including domestic abuse and miscarriage, descriptions of hanging and sexual assault, child death, and strong language.

From three-time Tony Award nominee Dave Malloy (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, Ghost Quartet) comes his latest off-Broadway sensation, Octet—directed by Chris Abraham.  

​

In a tech-obsessed support group, eight internet addicts grapple with everything from doomscrolling to Candy Crush to conspiracy theories.  

Blending razor-sharp contemporary critique with haunting choral harmonies, Octet offers a hilarious, intimate, and deeply moving exploration of human connection in the digital age.

ONLY A TALL TALE CAN SAVE THIS TINY TOWN

​

Deep in the heart of Atlantic Canada sits a small but proud harbour eager to keep its community together. With the sudden closing of their precious fish plant, this once bountiful village is looking for a miracle. When an opportunity arises to secure a state-of-the-art frozen french fry factory — and the many jobs it would create — the entire community is galvanized into action.

There’s just one major obstacle — to secure the factory, the harbour must have a full-time resident doctor. Realizing this might be their last chance to save their beloved home, the townspeople come together to spin the truth and put on a show to charm an interim doctor into moving there permanently.

Co-written by, and starring Great Big Sea’s music icon, Alan Doyle, TELL TALE HARBOUR is packed with all the songs and laughs we expect from the best East Coast kitchen party. It is as relatable as it is ridiculous, as hilarious as it is heartfelt, and celebrates the people, the trials, and the triumphs of living in a small town on the edge of the mighty Atlantic Ocean.

Based on the screenplay The Grand Seduction by Ken Scott, and co-created by Adam Brazier, Bob Foster, and Edward Riche, TELL TALE HARBOUR makes its Toronto debut after a smash-hit sell-out run at Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown, PEI.
