About the Play:
Cul-De-Sac is a dazzling one-man show by Daniel MacIvor, winner of both the Siminovich Prize and the Governor General's Literary Award (Canadian equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize).
About the effect of a violent act on a suburban neighbourhood, Daniel MacIvor himself played the role of Leonard, who narrates the events leading up to his murder while trying to understand them himself. Through the course of the play, we peer behind the curtains of his neighbourhood as MacIvor transforms into the multiple characters who bear witness to Leonard's life and death. Yet each of their stories, while internally consistent, tells a subtly different version of what happened, progressively colouring and transforming our understanding of the characters as we think we had come to know them. In a headlong rush we understand that everyone's story inevitably dead-ends at precisely the bottom of the preconceptions they brought to its telling.
Cast: 1 man.
