SHATTER
October 18 - November 16, 2014
by Trina Davis. Directed by Susan Fenichell
starring Jackie Hansen, Hollis McCarthy, Michael McGuire*& Rebecca Nelson*
1917 Halifax: the largest man-made explosion before Hiroshima hits Nova Scotia, Canada. Devastation unimaginable; the witch-hunt begins for someone to blame. At the center of it all stands Anna Maclean, a teenager whose first romance is threatened when her family considers an enemy within their fold. Shocking and surprisingly relevant to our post-9/11 world, this critically-acclaimed Canadian play in its American premiere is an eerie examination of the cycles of fear.
“thoroughly engrossing, haunting... one that you will be unable to forget or cast aside for some time to come”.
Vue Magazine
“An intense, moving, thought-provoking, very human drama.”
Halifax Herald
“Shatter unfolds close to the heart, splintering it into a million pieces as it follows the prejudiced upshot of the 1917 Halifax explosion…a living, breathing gem”
