A Black Theatre Workshop (Montreal, QC) and Tableau D’Hôte Theatre (Montréal, QC) Co-production

On a warm spring day in 1734, “troublesome slave” Marie-Joseph Angélique set fire to the city of Montreal. Or so the story goes.

With dreams of escaping the false safety of domestic servitude in New France for freedom in New England, Angélique was instead condemned for the crime.
