The Slab Collective presents LIVER by Kat Sandler, supported by Theatre Brouhaha Labs and Red One Theatre Collective April 30th-May 10th at The Storefront Theatre (955 Bloor West, Toronto).
Fresh off two tours to the Wildside Festival and the Undercurrents Festival, Kat Sandler is thrilled to return to Toronto with her brand-new play L IVER, a dark meditation on a simple premise: what if you died and came back to life? When Andrew, an unremarkable asshole wakes up on a gurney missing his liver, the lives of everyone around him are thrown into chaos as they decide how far they’ll go to protect their discovery... no matter what the cost to the discovery itself. An examination of life, death and how we run from both, LIVER turns Sandler’s dark comedic attention to questions of youth, aging, necrophilia and how far we’ll go to live forever.
“I’m psyched to be returning to Toronto for the first time in 2015 with L IVER,” says writer/director Kat Sandler. “After tackling the corporate world in Retreat, t he swingers scene in Delicacy a nd the origins of comedy in Punch Up, I wanted to explore the world of medical thrillers. While L IVER certainly has most of the same pitch black comedy and fast paced dialogue you’d find in my plays, I’ve also tried to take this one deeper by bringing to the forefront the struggle between life and death and the very transitory line between them.”
Working with an all-star cast and crew from two of Toronto's hottest indie theatre companies, Theatre Brouhaha Labs and Red One Theatre Collective are proud to support the world premiere of "prolific Toronto playwright" Kat Sandler's newest work.
