1 woman, 1 family, 1 moment in time…
Playmate presents in English a powerful short drama by one of Canada’s most extraordinary young writers. A dynamic story of a mother’s attempt to keep tradition and family together, with a hint of Yiddish comic tradition. The longer she tries, the more unhinged life becomes. Past and present mix on stage in a world Western audiences see far too often on the news; a world of drone strikes and war-torn communities.
Through it all, Edith is focused on answering her mobile phone and protecting her family – Lot, Sarah, Isaac and maybe even Abraham…
Playwright Jordan Tannahill, the enfant terrible of Canadian Theatre ‘takes fragments of stories from the historical record and turns them into plays for today, damning more than a few torpedoes as he goes’.
This is a play for the spirit of our times.

Den du är av Teater Dictat är en poetisk teaterföreställning om den egna existensens flyktighet, hur livet möter och måste mötas – villigt eller motvilligt – och den oundvikligt gemensamma underkastelsen under tillvarons grundläggande villkor.
Medverkande: Linus Nilsson & Johan Svensson. www.dictat.se
