Toronto, Ontario... Cue6 Productions presents the premiere of new Canadian play PIECES by Sarah Illiatovitch- Goldman, a revolutionary show about sex and betrayal, and about the different ways a life can be put back together – once it has gone to pieces.
Short-listed for the RBC Tarragon Emerging Playwright’s Competition, PIECES takes Toronto theatre in an entirely new direction – or 120 new directions, to be precise. Between flashbacks that tell the story of Jim and Susan and of Jim and Jodi, a crisis of the present day unfolds. Jodi’s arrival on Jim and Susan’s doorstep throws their ordered world into chaos, in a series of scenes that themselves have no set order. Before each show, the script’s sequence is randomly drawn, allowing for 120 different stories to be told.
Throughout the development of PIECES, the show has benefited from its all-star cast of Rosemary Dunsmore (Dora and Actra award-winner and 2-time Gemini nominee), Ron White (5 time Gemini nominee and 2 time Genie nominee) and Allison Price (award-winning comedienne and member of Second City’s National Touring Company).
These veteran performers, along with director Jill Harper, have helped to nurture PIECES into the most exciting new piece of theatre to hit Toronto audiences. Each performance will be unique and different, encouraging playgoers to return.
