Such Creatures
A world premiere produced by Theatre Passe Muraille
Written by Judith Thompson
Directed by Brian Quirt
Developed by Nightswimming
Previews Jan 14 – 19, opens Jan 20, runs to Feb 6
Two deeply-linked monologues show us the astonishing courage and resilience of young human beings
during earth shattering moments. Each piece introduces us to a fifteen-year- old girl: the first speaks to us
from contemporary Toronto, and the second from Auschwitz, 1945. Thanks to their shared love of
Shakespeare, each girl believes in miracles when there is almost no hope and in humour when there is
nothing but fear. Theatre Passe Muraille is excited to welcome Judith back 30 years after her first work,
The Crackwalker, burst onto its Backspace stage. Above: Michaela Washburn
