THE MILL (Part 4): Ash

THEATREFRONT

January 12 - 29, 2011
Tickets: $15 – $30

THE MILL is the biggest project ever undertaken by Theatrefront - a series of four full-length plays, written by four Canadian playwrights, starring the same ensemble of actors. Spanning 400 years, THE MILL is a modern day ghost story that examines Canada's haunted relationship with its past. THE MILL swept the 2010 Dora Mavor Moore Awards, receiving seven nominations and four awards in the Independent category.

THE MILL stands: battered and surrounded by ash. Inside, five young people are clinging to life. A surprising conclusion to the series, ASH is a dark and poignant fable that confronts the sins of our ancestors and our struggle to find hope in the darkest of corners of our nation's past - and within the mill itself. Can hope take root on such poisoned ground?

The four plays of the Cycle can be seen in any order or stand on their own as complete stories.

Theatrefront believes in crossing borders – both geographic and artistic - to create unique dramatic work infused with music, movement and media. Since its first Toronto production in 1999, numerous Dora nominations and critical acclaim have placed Theatrefront at the forefront of Canada’s independent theatre community.

Led by Artistic Director Daryl Cloran, Theatrefront’s productions are self-devised, created collaboratively by the ensemble and often take them abroad. Acclaimed productions of RETURN (The Sarajevo Project) in 2006 and UBUNTU (The Cape Town Project) in 2009 were both created in collaboration with foreign artists before their Toronto premieres.

THE MILL now brings Theatrefront back to Canada for an investigation of our own national identity.
