Petra A special day long residency initiative allows students to engage in a morning workshop and afternoon performance. In a world consumed by war and strife, a young mother must tell the tragic story behind her son's death in order to begin the healing. Inspired by a true incident that took place in Kosovo, Petra transcends the historical and travels into the universal as it grapples with the roots of ethnic division and war while demanding that the witnesses examine their personal role and responsibility. Students will experience this challenging theatrical experience with an in-depth exploration with the company and an education coordinator before and following the performance "Once upon a time there was a country between two rivers... It should have been a very pleasant place to live but the people could not stop arguing." Theatre Direct Canada takes its commitment to artistic and educational impact further with the North American premier of a timely and powerful play by one of the UK’s most dynamic playwrights. This gripping and theatrically beautiful play from TAG Theatre in Glasgow is perhaps one of the most courageous works written for young people on a subject that dominates the headlines and affects everyone around the world. "An excellent production dealing with a sensitive issue." Teacher, Holy Name Director |
