TORONTO, ON – safeword presents the World Premiere of DONORS, a new, original Canadian play that boldly and chillingly examines the ambiguous world of sperm donors, the repercussions of letting strangers enter your home and the fearful things we inherit deep within our blood.
Gray, a sperm donor, meets his 18 year old son for the first time. But as more children get added to the roster, a dream becomes a nightmare with disastrous consequences. This thrilling, suspenseful drama/horror from the same creative team that brought you Turtleneck earlier this year, is guaranteed to leave audiences breathless.
It runs from November 7th to 17th, 2013 at hub14 (14 Markham St., just west of Queen and Bathurst). Tickets are only $18 and are available for purchase at secureaseat.com/donors or at the door of each performance (cash-only). Recommended for ages 18 and up for mature themes, coarse language and violence.

ABOUT SAFEWORD
safeword is a new, independent theatre company based in Toronto focused on developing and producing original Canadian works of theatre that explore controversial and socially relevant subject matter through raw, high-octane performance. In role-playing fantasies, participants are often obliged to create a 'safe word' which is used only when the actions in the scene border too far into reality. Our company is interested in pushing our limits into these untrodden territories and challenging our audiences to ask themselves which words are 'safe' and which ones are still out of bounds. safeword’s mandate has two specific objectives. The first: to create, cultivate and contribute an exciting and assertive dramatic canon to our country’s national literature. The second: facilitate the independent production of new, Canadian work with our unique brand of raw and hyper-realistic performance.
