Few plays have so honestly and empathically represented a level of social interaction that
we as Canadians would rather ignore. Thompson’s four characters are lowlife misfits as
far as respectable community is concerned, but their interaction demonstrates a symbiotic
relationship that is every bit as rich and complicated as those in more “elevated” circles.
This is an exquisitely balanced piece of writing in which all characters equally drive
the plot and equally share their lives with the audience. While Thompson won her first
Governor General’s Award for a later play, this play – her first – is an achievement as
impressive as anything that followed.

“The Crackwalker’s [characters] are mesmerizingly real. These people live with you.” —Globe and Mail

“Exudes vitality.” —Toronto Star

“This play established a reputation for playwright Judith Thompson as a daring chronicler of the urban
underclass.” —Eye Weekly

How does a family process an event that has traumatized the individual members in
such a way that they are unable to participate in life beyond the presence of those
who have shared this trauma? Award winning Irish playwright Enda Walsh continues
the season’s focus on superb play construction, combined with deep penetration into
human psychology and emotional interaction. As the “family” commences the annually
recreation of a buffoon-style dramatization of the hidden secret that haunts them all, we
are given subtle signs that this may be the year to bring the trauma to a head.

“…loud, mad and viciously theatrical. It’s ranting virtuosity and exceptionally grounded
performances make it remarkable.” – Time Out London

“If there is a bleaker, funnier or more desperate play in Edinburgh this year, I’ll eat my
hat.”—Guardian

This play won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play in 2007 and has continued
to garner praise in Europe and North America. Inspired by the true story, it depicts
the meeting between a young woman and a middle-aged man with whom, fifteen years
earlier, at the age of twelve, she had had a sexual relationship. The woman, Una, has

been struggling throughout her life to understand and come to terms with the affair and
her conflicting emotions that shift between anger, curiosity, confusion, and attachment
to the offender Ray. Ray, who has gone on to have a stable job and relationship, now
has this life of stability potentially threatened. He must find a means of dealing with
a situation that forces him to examine his own past and present morality, and self-
conception.

“A drama that promises to be the most powerful of the season. Theater at its most
elemental.” – The New York Times

Franz Kafka has been approached by a famous producer to start in a musical based upon
himself. There are only two problems though: he can’t sing or act. But his participation
will ensure a guaranteed hit! Murray Gold is an internationally acclaimed playwright
and composer whose work has defined the mood of the current TV series Dr. Who. In
this outing, Gold’s talents use the figure of Kafka to take us on a thrilling “hum-along”
descent into madness. Just like Kafka we are kept guessing as to whether it is the main
character who is coming apart, or whether he is the victim of a diabolical practical joke.
Don’t be daunted by any preconceptions of the main character. Gold has made this
musical romp accessible to all. At times funny, at times suspenseful, Kafka the Musical
always demonstrates theatricality at its most entertaining. Originally commissioned by
BBC as a radio play, we will be working personally with Mr. Gold in this world premiere
stage adaptation.
