Ransacking Troy
Ransacking Troy, commissioned by The Stratford Festival of Canada, is an adaptation of the Trojan War narrative told from the perspective of its female players. After nine and a half years of war, Penelope is tired of waiting for Odysseus to come home, so she gathers a band of Greek women to set sail for Troy. An epic journey ensues as the women struggle to bring about a peaceful end to the war and imagine the future they want to create when it’s through. Ransacking Troy will be part of The Stratford Festival’s 2025 season.

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary: A gospel of sorts
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary (in development with Crow’s Theatre) follows a chorus of women through the seminal moments in the life of Jesus. Their identities evolve from blurred to distinct as a way to invite the story of the many to disrupt the story of the one. We get to hear this familiar narrative through the lens of the women who were there. As the piece progresses, the threads of the collective are tugged at by contemporary manifestations of the story and an individual who has decidedly separated from the chorus.

Medusa
Medusa (in development with Soulpepper Theatre) is an exploration of female rage – its origins, its danger, its incredible power - and the cost of both suppressing and releasing that rage. Medusa takes place in the liminal space between antiquity and now, following Medusa (pre-serpents) as she is pulled from one moment to the next by various people in her life. Throughout, Medusa grapples with the constant chatter of her inner serpents who voice her anxieties and frustrations until they erupt from her head with rage. The audience wears headphones through which they hear Medusa’s inner serpents. The live action on stage will compete with the whispered commentary of the serpents placing the audience, in some sense, in the body of Medusa herself.

You, Always
You, Always (commissioned by Canadian Stage) is an ode to sisters – to the brutal honesty, raucous silliness and unflinching support of an indispensable sibling. As one memory triggers another in their fifty-year shared history, sisters Liz and Delia travel across time and space tracing the push and pull of their relationship with humour, nuance and honesty.
