The season closes with the World Premiere of DEAD LETTER, where we meet Amy, who has noticed some disturbing occurrences in her apartment complex.
Socks are missing from the dryer. Tupperware lids have disappeared. A dead letter, years old, arrives in the mail. Despite the protestations of those around her, Amy obsessively investigates the incidents, sure there’s a cosmic connection between them. Turns out she may be right – these mundane mysteries are indeed much more than happenstance. This charmingly mischievous play offers the possibility that hidden meaning is everywhere.
DEAD LETTER features an ensemble of award-winning artists directed by Heather Inglis and featuring Lora Brovold, Collin Doyle, and Maralyn Ryan. Brian Bast’s set and costume designs will be accompanied with lights by Ami Farrow, multi-media design by Matt Schuurman, and sound design by Rebecca Merkley.
Why Heather chose DEAD LETTER
‘Part romantic comedy and part mystery, DEAD LETTER is a who-done-it that is as surprising as it is delightful. Massing’s characters struggle with the sorts of mundane problems we all do, but as in any mystery, the revelations of the story guide their way. Conni’s voice is unique in Canadian theatre, her well-crafted works serve us characters that are entirely recognizable - who live in our world, breathe our air, and struggle with our problems.’
