We are beyond excited to be presenting the world premiere of this darkly twisted theatrical treat by award-winning playwright Meg Braem .
Kingston, Ontario. 1869.
Magda, stubbornly ambitious and desperate for an education in an era when women were ineligible for university enrolment, disgusted by the impending doom of an arranged marriage to a breathtakingly dull fellow, and suffocating under the oppressive weight of circumstance, strikes a dangerous deal with William, a first-year medical student she catches illicitly collecting his own lab materials in the dead of night. A clandestine friendship soon develops as their secret trysts propel them towards a seemingly inevitable demise. Or do they?
