Shed runs Aug 5 - 14. Factory Theatre
Diapora Dialogues is proud to support a play by one of our past emerging writers, Leah Jane Esau.
Shed is based on the 2006 incident where a group of children, aged 8 to 11, pushed 14-year-old Brian McKay into a shed, closed the door, and lit the shed on fire. They blocked the door with heavy garbage bins and left him there to burn. Brian, who suffers from spina bifida
was an easy target for bullying, and was saved by a neighbour. Because the children involved were under the age of 12, they were protected by the Canadian Youth Justice Act, and, therefore, could notbe charged. The police gave them "a warning".
Shed was written by Leah Jane Esau, under the dramaturgy of Judith
Thompson and Brian Drader. Shed begins with Mitch, age 13, accused of
killing his friend, high on drugs, and on the roof of a two story
house, downtown Winnipeg, 40 below zero.
