It’s 1895 and a young Cree couple have fallen in love and wish to marry – but the cow the groom has procured for the feast is stolen and the penalty for killing a cow without a licence is death. Written by acclaimed First Nations playwright Daniel David Moses, Almighty Voice and His Wife reimagines this true story within two wildly different acts, moving from a tragic love story to a hilarious post-modern vaudeville act.
25 years ago Theatre Kingston was established and Daniel David Moses’s seminal play premiered – it was a very good year! We are thrilled that Lib Spry, the director of that original production, has returned to revisit the play and she has invited some of the most foremost indigenous theatre artists working in Canada today to join her in the re-telling of this unforgettable story.

Concord Floral is a million square foot abandoned greenhouse and a hangout for neighbourhood kids. But something has happened there. Something nobody wants to talk about. Concord Floral re-imagines Giovanni Boccaccio’s medieval allegory The Decameron in a contemporary Canadian suburb, in which ten teens must flee a plague they have brought upon themselves.
This production formalizes an artistic partnership between Theatre Kingston and the Dan School of Drama and Music with professional theatre practitioners mentoring aspiring professionals studying at Queen’s. In this iteration, director Greg Wanless and designers Sean Mulcahy and Michael Walton will work with a student cast and production team to bring Tannahill’s evocative and suspenseful play to life.

Concord Floral ... "Artfully structured, yet full of suspense, with dialogue that shifts smoothly between the poetic and the observational. It’s got style and substance – and is scary as all get out"

Two battle-scared individuals – one recovering from injuries sustained while on duty in Afghanistan, one living with the results of a life-changing accident, redefine what is meant by courage and discover the power that writing has to validate a life. Powerful, yet delicate and surprisingly funny Armstrong’s War redefines the meaning of courage and what it means to be a hero.
