Toronto: Tickets for “Rogers v. Rogers” on sale September 8

Monday, September 8, 2025

Telecom tycoon Ted Rogers built an empire turning Canada’s airwaves into cash. Now his son Edward, long dismissed by his father, is fighting for control of the family business. Meanwhile, shrewd public servant Matthew Boswell is determined to derail Rogers’ billion-dollar takeover of Shaw Communications.

From award-winning playwright Micheal Healey (The Master Plan, The Drawer Boy) comes a modern day David and Goliath story of outsized ambition, personal grudges, and corporate power.

Inspired by one of the most dramatic boardroom showdowns in Canadian history, this riveting new drama examines the price of pushing back, the unraveling bonds of kin, and the legacy that money can—and cannot—buy.

Tom Rooney, “darling of the Canadian stage” (The Globe and Mail), portrays all the characters in this interwoven modern David vs. Goliath story following a son's fight for control of the family empire as a wily public servant works to block a billion-dollar merger. Ambition, defiance, and public interest collide in a battle of wills.
