The Weavers, A New Comedy from David Sealy

February 24-26, 2022 | Showtimes Below | The Shu-Box, Riddell Centre

A young man with a few secrets up his well-ironed sleeves.

An old woman who isn't as far gone as she appears.

Let the games begin.

The Weavers is a new comedy from award-winning Regina playwright David Sealy. Tackling ageism and rural decline with a sardonic twist, this mind-game on a stage will keep you guessing between giggles.

Supplementary Material

 

"[…] Perfect for drama: a young man and an old woman are forced together during a blizzard [...] What follows is the stranger-on-an-airplane effect, as both characters reveal things about themselves that they would ordinarily guard secret."

— Ian Williams

"With themes of scores unsettled, the nature of fame (or is it infamy?) and the gulf between youth and old age, this work […] promises to be a tightly paced piece of theatre."

— Jenn Farrell
