Cherry Docs, David Gow's powerful comtemporary play will perform 16-26th April 2009 at Théâtre Ste.Catherine

For two actors, Mike aged 19-25 & the Lawyer 28-35. Auditions will take place at the beginning of December 2008. The production will go into rehearsal week beginning March 14, 2009

A neo-Nazi Skinhead is charged with murder, and Legal Aid has assigned him a Jewish lawyer. Over the course of developing a defence for the Skinhead, the lawyer is forced to examine the limits of his own liberalism, and the demons underlying it. Cherry Docs is an unblinking examination of hatred, the explosive effect it has on our society, and the hurdles that confront us as we set about eradicating it.



Under consideration for the future are:

Arms and the Man by Bernard Shaw or Richard II by William Shakespeare for October 2009
