Set in 1959, Ameliasburgh, Prince Edward County, Canada. On the edge of spring, Canadian poets Al Purdy and Milton Acorn are finishing an A-frame cabin on Roblin Lake. In the coming decade all three of them – Al, Milt, and the A-frame – will become famous and change the face of Canadian poetry, but for now, all they have is the stench of sweat, whiskey, and words. From Governor General’s Award-winner David Yee, among men is a poetic and charged portrait of male friendship in uncertain times, and a story of how Canadian literature was changed forever.

With the return to in-person performances, FACTORY THEATRE has implemented a sliding scale ticketing structure with a $0 option. Tickets prices for among men range from $10 – $60, and include a limited number of $0 tickets for every performance. Audiences are invited to select the ticket price option that works best for them to experience theatre at Factory.
