Toronto: The King Black Box presents “BUG” by Tracy Letts November 28-December 14

Monday, October 27, 2025

The King Black Box in partnership with Elkabong Theatre Projects presents BUG by Tracy Letts NOVEMBER 28 TO DECEMBER 14 2025 directed by Andrew Cameron with production design by Sophie Ann Rooney.

A gripping psychological thriller, BUG dives into the shared delusions of two lost souls seeking refuge in a rundown Oklahoma motel room. Equal parts disturbing and darkly comic, the play explores paranoia, connection, and the fine line between truth and madness.

Folie à deux, a rare psychiatric syndrome where delusional beliefs are shared between two closely associated individuals.

Set within the confines of a motel room, BUG follows Agnes, a lonely waitress seeking refuge after a troubled past, and Peter, a Gulf War veteran whose growing paranoia entwines with hers. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.
