Death Married My Daughter comes to Toronto's Theatre Centre Spring 2014

What would happen if Shakespeare’s Ophelia and Desdemona entered the theatre together before our very eyes?

What would happen if Ophelia and Desdemona came back from the swamps of death where they have endured the longest exile?

Resurrected by their desire to expose the “abusers” and “murderers”, they would revel in denouncing “Man”; they would destroy, with delight, the established values of a male society.

This is the story of Death Married My Daughter a biting, Bouffon-inspired satire that puts “Man” on trial.

We are pleased to present this show as part of the ICC (Independent Creators Co-Op). This is a new initiative that allows independent companies the opportunity to work together under the mentorship of senior artists and produce new work in a shared creative space. For this project, we are excited to share the Theatre Centre for 6 weeks with Theatre Zou’s “Business as Usual” and Ahuri Theatre’s “Ralph and Lina”.
