Written by Johnna Adams Previews October 26, 27 and 28. Opens October 29 Closing November 19 Performances are at 8pm in the Black Box with two 3pm Matinees available: Saturday November 5th and Saturday November 19th. |
Content Warning: This play deals with childhood suicide and descriptive acts of violence
During a 90 minute parent/teacher conference that takes place in real time, a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed elementary school teacher grapple with the tragic suicide of fifth grader Gidion. Who failed Gidion and how? Who, if anyone, is responsible for the failure to recognize such profound distress in Gidion? As the two women use Gidion's own writing to try to get closer to the truth, they come to conclusions both shocking and profound.
“…resonant…[a] particularly eloquent study of people caught between the competing demands of reason, morality and family…harrowing…a narrative that is as elegant as it is chilling.” —Washington Post. “
At the conclusion of select performances we will offer a talk back with teachers and specialists in the field of suicide prevention. Dates not yet determined

Curio takes on Spymonkey's fabulously hilarious Shakespearian bloodbath!
All 74 onstage Shakespearean deaths in 90 minutes - 75 if you count the ill-favoured fly killed in Titus Andronicus.
Roman suicides in Julius Caesar, the death fall of Prince Arthur in King John, the carnage at the end of Hamlet, snakes in a basket in Antony & Cleopatra, Pyramus and Thisbe, young Macduff! Countless stabbings, severed heads, poisonings, mobbings and a smothering - hell Enorbarbus just sits in a ditch and dies from grief. And don't get us started about the pie that Titus serves the Queen of the Goths!
THE COMPLETE DEATHS opened in May 2016 at Brighton Festival to acclaim from audiences and critics alike, and has been delighting audiences around the world since then - a solemn, sombre, life-affirming and sublimely funny tribute to Shakespeare and death.
