PERSEPHONE THEATRE | 100 Spadina Cres. E. 306.384.7727 | persephonetheatre.org Butcher (January 31 to February 14, 2018)

By Nicolas Billon | Directed by Del Surjik Featuring award-winning actor Chip Chuipka An edge-of-your-seat thriller that twists and turns as it explores the murky waters between revenge and justice. An old man in a military uniform and a Santa hat is dumped at the police station. He doesn’t speak English, and a lawyer’s business card is baited on the meat hook that hangs on his neck.

As a lawyer, a police officer and a translator struggle to unravel the truth, they uncover past crimes that won’t stay buried. Warning: mature themes and scenes of extreme violence.

By Jane Austen, adapted by Janet Munsil Directed by Johnna Wright When Lizzie Bennet meets the wealthy and aloof Mr. Darcy, love at first sight quickly turns into a battle of wills.
