Preview: Eternal Hydra


Opening this week at the Factory Theatre is the critically acclaimed Eternal Hydra. The show joins Ruined as a must see powerful piece of theatre playing right now in Toronto. Cara Ricketts and David Ferry star in the play that is being produced by Crow’s Theatre in association with Factory Theatre.

Show Description:
Vivian, a scholar, unearths a long-lost manuscript by firebrand author Gordias Carbuncle that is supposedly a work of staggering genius. When Selma Thomas’s connection to Carbuncle is discovered, it sparks a controversy reaching from the high-powered publishing world of present-day New York, to 1930’s Paris, and the American Civil War. Eternal Hydra is about identity politics, sex and the myth of genius – a thrilling look at the making of a modern masterpiece.
