Update: We're deeply saddened to announce that Centaur Theatre's Brave New Looks has been cancelled in response to COVID-19. While this postpones our production of What Rough Beast, we will be bringing this play to life at a later date. Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to bring us this far! What Rough Beast by Alice Abracen Directed by Jessica Abdallah Co-Producer Rabbit in a Hat Productions Co-Producer Tantalus Theatre |

A controversial professor is invited to speak at a progressive college, and
the students fracture into factions. The debate grows, the rhetoric flares – and in the wake of the
unspeakable, principles fail and families and friendships are put to the ultimate test.

We’re so thrilled to be involved with Alice Abracen’s What Rough Beast.
Alice is a magnificent young playwright with a quality of writing and depth of perceptive
that is already making her an important voice in Canadian theatre and beyond.
As gun violence in our society heartbreakingly often involves adolescents and children,
Alice’s play poignantly puts the preceptive squarely on the young people it affects the most.
She dives into this controversial and difficult topic with wit and wisdom to create a story that is character driven,
allowing us to grasp an almost inconceivable yet very real modern world crisis."
