From October 23rd to October 27th Theatre Kingston’s 27th season brings Rare Theatre’s newest work, Welcome to my Underworld, to the Baby Grand following it’s world premiere at SoulPepper. Within Welcome to my Underworld, Nine blazing hot works written and performed by new Canadian dramatists have been woven into one spectacular play guided by two-time Governor General award-winner and Kingston native, Judith Thompson. Each playwright brings their own gate-crashing ideas and compelling characters who have never been seen on our stages until now.Welcome to my Underworldis a beautiful odyssey that erupts with heightened, illusory and playful language, as it follows Willow, a 10-year-old girl, as she gracefully weaves from one unique story to the next in search of her truest self.
“Welcome to My Underworld is a bracing, sobering, often funny, always poignant look at the world of these gifted playwrights. I can’t recommend it highly enough. As that lovely little kid said at the end of a Hayden/Handel concert in Boston recently: “WOW!””
