Volcano Theatre - Goodness
Date: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 -

Centre for the Arts, Brock University presents Volcano Theatre - Goodness Acclaimed Canadian writer and playwright Michael Redhill’s Goodness weaves a narrative through time and space which considers genocide and its aftermath, the questions of good and evil and revenge. Through considering Redhill’s Jewish ancestry and the Holocaust, the play unravels tensions through considering a more recent and “unnamed” genocide. A female character’s understanding of genocide in her own country is troubled by the man she guards who, though a suspected mass murderer in the past, has apparently descended into the storm of Alzheimer’s. With questions of prejudice, blame, justice and morality hanging in the balance, the award-winning cast of characters under the direction of Ross Manson and a background of music from around the world weave Redhill’s language into a complexly layered consideration of human nature.
