The Small Room at the Top of the Stairs

A Drama by Carole Fréchette
Translated by John Murrell
Directed by Naomi Simpson

“The brilliant clarity of a fairy tale and the murky depths beneath it… A miniature masterpiece … [of] jeweled precision.”
– ROBERT CUSHMAN, NATIONAL POST

Grace’s new husband has only one rule; do not go into the small room at the top of the stairs. She is irresistibly drawn to the mystery behind the door and his secret life in this open-ended parable. What lies behind the door will have you talking.
Bonus: Your ticket includes a facilitated discussion in the lounge after every show.
