Beware the sincere stranger. It’s Christmas Eve and Bettina’s mother is staying for the holidays. Tensions rise between Bettina, her husband, and her mother – heightened by the presence of a man her mother met on the train and invited around for drinks. Family dynamics, betrayal, and the inescapable shadow of the past reverberate through this rapid and razor-sharp satire on the rise of the new right. Winter Solstice is a comedy of manners with a bite starring Canadian stage and screen stars Frank Cox-O’Connell, Kira Guloien, Cyrus Lane, Diego Matamoros and Nancy Palk. Written by Roland Schimmelpfennig, translated by David Tushingham. A Necessary Angel Theatre Company production in association with Canadian Stage and BirdLand Theatre. English-Language Canadian Premiere; January 14 - February 2, 2025.
Extremism doesn’t kick the door down on arrival: it waits for an invite, then makes itself at home.
