“Jordan Tannahill has written an achingly honest and unadorned script.” J. Kelly Nestruck, The Globe and Mail
- English
Named one of Canada’s top 10 theatre productions in 2013 by The Globe and Mail, Post Eden is the breakthrough production of boundary-shattering playwright, director, and 2014 Governor General’s Award-winner JORDAN TANNAHILL.
Inspired by interviews conducted with real residents of Neighbourly Lane in Richmond Hill, and featuring a sumptuous silent film shot in their homes, Post Eden is a multimedia fantasia about an ordinary day in the life of a fractured family. Actors onstage interact with their filmic selves in disarming ways as the line between documentary and fantasy blurs: a teenage girl exhumes her dead dog in order to break a curse, while her estranged parents attempt to reconcile, to hilarious and tragic effect.
Created by one of the hottest young voices in theatre, Post Eden is a quiet and surreal story about the search for redemption and meaning in our everyday lives.
