Event:
Scorched
January 19th - 31stby Wajdi Mouawad
Translation by Linda Gaboriau
Directed by Graham McDonald and Clayton Jevne
Scorched explores themes growing out of the immigrant/refugee experience. It has proven itself one of the most powerfully engaging dramatic works to be produced in this country during the past three years. Civil war in the Middle East forms the backdrop for much of the play’s action as Mouawad explores with profound insight the concepts of love, loyalty, and betrayal. The plot revolves around a brother and sister’s quest to unearth the history – and mystery – of their deceased immigrant mother. As their journey takes them to the Middle East, they enter into a process of coming to terms with their own sense of loss and emptiness, while learning to understand the legacy of suffering left in the wake of conflict.
“a remarkable achievement… anyone who cares about good theatre should not miss it.”
