The Arts Club Theatre Company has a new audio play that will leave you hungry for more. 

Written by Michele Riml and Michael St. John Smith, The Cull is a gripping new drama that was also one of the Arts Club’s Silver Commissions.

Featured in the organization’s 2021-22 Listen to This: Audio Play Series, The Cull tells the story of Emily and Lewis, who are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary with their best friends. While a forest fire rages out of control in the local mountains, the conversation around the dinner table turns many corners: catching up on family events, reminiscing about their teenage years, and debating about what it means to be a “good person”. But when an unexpected gift turns the seemingly civil conversation about the local wolf cull into a fierce personal argument, a secret is revealed that threatens the stability of the “pack”, turning this particular dinner party into a night of eat or be eaten. 

In Listen to This, each entertaining, thought-provoking work is created by a Western Canadian playwright who is affiliated with the Arts Club’s Emerging Playwrights' Unit or Silver Commissions Project.
