"I know what it's like to be young, black... and angry..." (Thomas in Toronto The Good)In the spirit of Factory Theatres’ dedication to producing Canadian plays with Canadian perspective comes Andrew Moodie’s dramatic exploration of race in Toronto which opens this week in conjunction with Factory Theatre's 2008/2009 season. When a policewoman finds a gun after randomly pulling over a young male, who happens to be black, she is charged with racial profiling. The plot becomes even more multifaceted when a black lawyer is appointed to represent her. Moodie is a former recipient of the Chalmers Award. Directed by Philip Akin, this show is getting major buzz and promises to provide an affecting night out at the theatre.
Sunday performances are Pay What You Can at the door. Performance times are Tuesday - Saturday at 8p.m. and Sunday at 2p.m.
