Under The Skin was Betty Lambert’s last play, completed shortly before her death in 1983. Based on a real kidnapping that occurred in Port Moody, British Columbia, the play follows three characters - Maggie, Renee and John. In an emotional climate set by the disappearance of Maggie’s young daughter, Emma, Under The Skin peels back the veneer of the human mind to reveal layers of destructive tendencies.
Unit 102 Actor's Company brings together a talented and energetic collective of artists for the staging of Under The Skin. Under the creative direction of Luis Fernandes (actor/writer of P-dale and co-founding partner of Unit 102 Actor's Company) and David Lafontaine (actor/writer/producer and co-founding partner of Unit 102 Actor's Company), Unit 102 has appreciated great independent success and community support with the staging of contemporary, realist, North American, dramas such as Jesus Hopped The A Train, A Behanding in Spokane, In A Dark Dark House, Oleana, and The God Of Hell. With Under The Skin, Luis Fernandes continues to shape the voice of Unit 102 Actor's Company while carving its niche in Toronto's independent theatre scene.
“Its much more than a thriller, it shows how we try to ignore what is happening beneath the surface of our lives because it is much more comfortable to deny it.”
