In addition to the Portuguese-language premiere slated for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in early-2025, The Anorak has been performed for over two decades, most recently at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Performances have also taken place in London (UK), Toronto, Kingston, Quebec City, and Montreal. The Montreal French-language premiere is taking place concurrently in the East End, with Alex Dubois reprising the lead role. Nous encourageons ceux qui souhaitent écouter la pièce en français à assister aux spectacles ayant lieu à l'Espace Transmission.
The show is playing over two consecutive weeks (Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun/Nov. 28 - Dec. 8) at the Monkland Community Centre, 4410 West Hill Avenue in N.D.G. An optional forum with both writer and performer takes place after every show.
A portion of all ticket sales will go towards an N.D.G. women’s/family charity.
Please purchase tickets in advance. Seating is extremely limited.
An additional discount is available to students, seniors, QDF/QWF/InkCanada members, and I.O. Acting & Creative Studio students.
