Tarragon Theatre is set to host the world premiere of *Strife*, a new play written by Matthew Mackenzie and produced by Punctuate! Theatre. The story follows Monique, a tenacious oil patch worker reeling from the brutal murder of her brother, Nathan, an Indigenous climate activist.
A Tense and Poetic Drama
As Monique grapples with her grief, she finds herself at a crossroads: trust the justice system or take matters into her own hands. The play is described as tense, poetic, and deeply visceral, exploring themes of loss, resilience, and the battle between hope and vengeance. A recurring, enigmatic dream involving her brother’s bones and a spectral Owl adds a layer of mystery and spiritual depth to the narrative.

*Strife* runs from April 7 to April 26 at the Tarragon Theatre. This is a powerful piece of theatre that promises to be a highlight of the season. If you're a fan of thought-provoking, emotionally charged drama, make sure to secure your tickets for this world premiere.
