From the director of the internationally acclaimed MAHMOUD (Winner: Best of Fringe Toronto & NYC) and the cult hit horror MURDER ON OSSINGTON (“The most exciting thing I've done on a Saturday night in a long time.”-The GridTO) comes the site-specific revival of acclaimed playwright ROBIN FULFORD's powerful play on domestic violence, FIVE FINGERS.
Tuck is a young loans officer with a short fuse. He married Anna when she got pregnant. Now she stays at home with their baby, Henry. They used to be in love; now, they just co-exist under the burden of daily life. Using the divide of altering monologues from this increasingly divided pair, ROBIN FULFORD masterfully builds to the fateful Saturday morning when Tuck strikes Anna.
Starring recent National Theatre School graduates, and real-life couple, CHALA HUNTER (Me Happy - SummerWorks 2010, Tough – Magnetic North, Toute Comme Elle – Necessary Angel) and NATHAN BARRETT (Tick – Toronto Fringe, The Innocents – Tango Co.) as the young couple doomed by one man's selfishness, anger, denial, and justifications of his actions.
Under the direction of TOM ARTHUR DAVIS (Mahmoud – Toronto & NYC Fringe, Murder on Ossington – Pandemic Theatre) this production of FIVE FINGERS invites the audience directly into the domestic sphere. The audience will have the same experience as Tuck & Anna: as caged animals, free to roam only within the confines of their home.
The audience walks freely in the playing space and chooses how they watch the performance.
Will they follow Tuck? Will they follow Anna?
Will anyone have the same view of domestic abuse by the end?
