« Acclaimed theatre company Scapegoat Carnivale is honoured to present the world premiere of Ricki in Centaur Theatre’s Wildside Festival. The play is a darkly absurd fable about the trials of a woman who with her ten-year-old son moves to Montreal to rebuild their lives after the loss of her husband and home; a bittersweet examination of the conflicts between parents and children as they struggle against monsters, both real and imaginary. Ricki is co-directed by company Co-Artistic Directors Alison Darcy & Joseph Shragge, who is also the playwright. Ricki runs from January 31 to February 3 (preview Jan. 30). To encourage dialogue, Scapegoat Carnivale will hold a moderated talkback on Fri. Feb. 2 with eminent American scholar Michael M. Chemers, whose work focuses on monsters in theatre history. The play includes mature themes fused with humour. »
