THE UNPLUGGING by Yvette Nolan, directed by Nina Lee Aquino, and winner of the 2013 Jessie Award for Outstanding New Play (Vancouver). The show stars two veterans of the Toronto theatre community, Diana Belshaw and Allegra Fulton, and features newcomer Umed Amin.
Cast out of their community for being deemed unable to contribute to a post-apocalyptic society, two aging Indigenous women are forced to begin a new life, living off the land as their ancestors did before them. As the duo begin to settle into their new existence, they encounter a young man whose presence threatens their way of life.
THE UNPLUGGING stars Allegra Fulton as Bern and Diana Belshaw as Elena. Fulton’s solo tour-de-force performance of Frida Kahlo in Frida K. has earned her international acclaim, garnering awards in New York City, Mexico City and across Canada. Recent credits include The List and The Carousel (Nightwood Theatre);Geometry in Venice (Segal Centre/Crow’s Theatre); Scorched (Tarragon Theatre); and The Comedy of Errors and The Odyssey (Stratford Shakespeare Festival).
