Knife

The Theatre Centre on Queen West is hosting the world premiere of 'Knife', a new play by Eric Trudell. This tense, sharp comedy explores the lives of two door-to-door knife salesmen—one who thinks he’s just passing through for the summer, and one who has been in the business for eleven years.

The Premise Set at a picnic table in London, Ontario, the play delves into the blurred lines between work and personal life. As the two men form an unlikely friendship, the play asks difficult questions about purpose and the struggle to connect with people outside of our own age group. It’s a relatable, witty, and occasionally uncomfortable look at the modern workplace and the search for meaning.

Why It’s Worth Seeing Trudell’s writing is known for its wit and ability to capture the nuances of human interaction. If you’re looking for a fresh, thought-provoking night of theatre in a vibrant neighbourhood, 'Knife' is a great choice. The Theatre Centre is a fantastic venue that always delivers high-quality, contemporary performances, making this a perfect addition to your April calendar.
