Watching Glory Die, by critically acclaimed and award-winning Canadian playwright Judith Thompson, is a riveting journey of three women bound together in impossible circumstances.
Mulgrave Road Theatre presents Watching Glory Die on stage at Blyth Festival's Phillips Studio from September 12 to 16, directed by Emmy Alcorn and starring Stephanie MacDonald. Tickets are just $27 (adults) and $15 (youth). Click here to buy tickets now.
Glory is a 19-year-old prison inmate whose defiant nature leads to an ever-spiralling clash with Corrections Canada. What can her mother do? What is the responsibility of her guard?
Inspired by the real-life case of Ashley Smith, who was initially incarcerated at age 15 for throwing crabapples, Watching Glory Die takes a bold dramatic leap from the news headlines to forge the kind of visceral lyricism that is the hallmark of Judith Thompson at her most powerful.
Watching Glory Die won a 2016 Robert Merritt Award (Nova Scotia): Stephanie MacDonald for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role (female) and received nominations for Outstanding Direction and Outstanding Lighting Design..
