URBANITE READING SERIES

POISON

By Lot Vekemans

Directed by Natalie Novacek

​

February 25-27 2018 @ 8PM

​

The Urbanite Reading Series features staged readings of newer works we're considering giving full productions. All readings will include talkbacks following the reading, where your feedback is crucial.

​​

Alone in a room for the first time in years, a couple is brought back together again after a harrowing breakup. As the play progresses, old wounds re-open, new truths surface, and the real reason behind their separation is learned. Delicate yet hard-hitting, POISON holds up a (hopeful) mirror to humanity where love and humour can still be found in the midst of so much pain.

Approximately 85 minutes, no intermission.
