Touchstone Theatre and Ruby Slippers Theatre present the world premiere of Pippa Mackie’s Hurricane Mona from November 18 to December 3 at The Cultch’s Historic Theatre. Opening night is on November 22 at 7:30 pm.

Hurricane Mona is a fast-paced and absurdist dark comedy about a middle-class family grappling with their life and relationships under the grim shadow of the climate emergency.

Directed by Roy Surette, the play follows the story of its titular character, Mona (played by Alex Gullason), a rebel environmental activist who is placed under court-ordered house arrest after smashing a police car during a climate protest.

Forced to serve her term in her parents’ suburban home while tensions begin to flare, Mona and her family must come to grips with their role in the climate crisis when a catastrophe befalls them.

Tickets to the production are at The Cultch, and more information is available here.
