*english language premiereby Henrik Ibsen adapted by Florian Borchmeyer translated by Maria Milisavljevic directed by Richard Rose Sept 16–oct 26, 2014 Mainspace(opens Sept 24)

Dr. Stockmann has made a shocking discovery, but to go public with it will spell the end of his town’s prosperity. The people don’t know that the local baths are contaminated with industrial waste, and if the world finds out, it will send the community into economic collapse. Ibsen’s timely parable echoes with the questions of today as it grapples with how we balance our conscience and our comfort. Censored scientists, environmental crises, the pitfalls of democracy, anarchist manifestos and “the 1%”. Originally adapted for the Schaubühne (Berlin), An Enemy of the People is as alive now as it was in 1882.

*world premiere by Kate Cayley directed by Richard Rose oct 21–nov 30, 2014 extraspace(opens oct 29)

The end of World War II. Holland is in chaos. The artist van Meegeren is arrested. His crime? Selling a long-lost painting by the Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer to Hermann Goering, Nazi leader. His defense? It was a perfect forgery painted by him. His proof? In front of his prosecutor (art historian and resistance fighter) Geert Piller, he must paint another flawless Vermeer to save his life. A trial of beauty, faith, memory and the reconstruction of a country.

*world premiere written & directed by Morris Panych nov 5–Dec 14, 2014 Mainspace(opens nov 12)

Six musicians are stranded by a blizzard in their motel with only their instruments, each other and their secrets to keep them warm. Where will everyone sleep when everyone is sleeping with everyone else? Underscored by their struggles to come to terms with their failing careers, failing marriages and unfulfilled desires, the sextet tries to make a set-list for a show that they know won’t happen. How long can they keep their composure before everything they’ve kept hidden comes into play?

*world premiere by Diane Flacks directed by Richard Greenblatt Jan 6–Feb 15, 2015 Mainspace(opens Jan 14)

Hope is the thing with feathersThat perches in the soulAnd sings the tune without the wordsAnd never stopsAt all.

–Emily Dickinson

This is a play about life in the waiting room of a major research hospital. This is a play about diagnosis, prognosis, and uncertainty. This is a play about the families that find the will to keep going. This is a play about the needs of the heart and the necessities of medicine. This is a play about breaking the rules. This is a play about how to have hope.

*english language premiereby Maria Milisavljevic directed by Richard RoseFeb 3–Mar 15, 2015 extraspace(opens Feb 11)

MISSING: Karla Richter, 24. Last seen on her way to the grocery store in blue jeans, a green parka and her red rubber rain boots. The police and papers ignore the disappearance, leaving her loved ones to discover the truth. Suspicions turn to Vlado, her lover, born into terror and war; he has a knack for finding what is lost. He must find Karla. A poetic thriller and a modern day epic cloaked in the mystery of Europe’s underworld.

*world premiere by Daniel MacIvor directed by amiel Gladstone Mar 3–apr 12, 2015 Mainspace(opens Mar 11)

A luxury condo, six Toronto residents, and a pile of dirt in a forgotten parkette. There are those who believe there is a dark age ahead, there are those who believe it is already here, and there are those who couldn’t care less as long as there’s cake.

Daniel MacIvor’s seventh production at Tarragon Theatre is his wittiest and sharpest yet—a MacIvor like you’ve never seen before.

*world premiere a co-production with Volcano Theatre by Hannah Moscovitch directed by Ross Manson Mar 25–May 3, 2015 extraspace(opens apr 1)

“What is time? ... Everything we think, feel, or do reminds us of its existence” ~Lee Smolin, Time Reborn

How does a new theory of time change everything we know about ourselves? A brilliant young woman and her parents smash together - like colliding particles in an accelerator. Together they learn that love and time are connected in ways they couldn’t have imagined.

Infinity is a shocking, funny and revelatory new play by Tarragon playwright-in-residence Hannah Moscovitch developed with Volcano Theatre.

*freely adapted from the original by William Shakespeare directed by Richard Rose consulting director Ravi Jain apr 22–May 31, 2015 Mainspace(opens apr 29)

Beatrice and Benedick take on Brampton in this Bollywood-inspired adaptation of Shakespeare’s most clever comedy. A reimagined Much Ado plays as an all-out war of the sexes against a backdrop of a very Canadian clash of cultures. Moving from comedy to tragedy and back again with razor sharp wit, this familiar story takes on new meaning when set in our own backyard. Classical text fuses with bharatanatyam dance and Bollywood in this larger-than-life spectacle.
