In Toronto

[Rick Sacks]

I don't usually promote events on this list but I believe that this  
independent production at Tarragon is a rich, imaginative piece of  
political theatre.

Here are the details.  I strongly recommend this work.  It is well  
written and the acting is superb. Details can be found at

Synopsis
Canada Steel is a new play by J. Karol Korczynski that traces the  
disintegration of a Greek Canadian steelworker's family in Hamilton  
over the course of the Stanley Cup Final.  Yes, the Maple Leafs stand  
on the threshold of a long awaited victory.  Hope must truly spring  
eternal.

But all is not well in the Leaf Nation.  The Red Wings are not dead  
yet.  The mighty steelworks have closed.  Mental illness has visited  
hearth and home.  And a pension and benefits plan accrued through  
decades of hard labour has suddenly been suspended.  Does salvation  
lie with the union?  With a lonely call centre worker in India?  In a  
beautiful mural rescued from the dust of the demolished factory?  Or  
in a night of vicious reprisal?

This gripping tragi-comedy, standing in the best traditions of Shaw,  
Odets and Fo, drives through to its terrifying conclusion whilst  
examining the impact of an unrelenting globalization on the lives of  
people that could be your neighbour - that could be you.

Starring two time Gemini nominee Daniel Kash and directed by Graham  
Cozzubbo, acclaimed director of Canada House.
