"Delightfully devious. A twisty, True Detective-style thriller [sprinkled] liberally with laughs." - The Globe and Mail

Calling all true crime fans! Don’t miss the first play of our season, award-winning Canadian playwright Kat Sandler’s hit Yaga. Direct from Toronto where it captured critical raves, this subversive dark comedy fairy tale begins as a classic whodunit that veers into supernatural territory when the mythic Baba Yaga enters the story.

Yaga follows a detective who finds himself in a small town, wondering what the disappearance of the young heir to a yogurt fortune has to do with random lore about an old witch. Joining forces with the local female sheriff, the pair zero in on a cast of curious characters, including a sexy, whip-smart forensic bone expert whose shadowy past includes her healthy appetite for young men. Can they unravel the truth without getting caught up in the myth of Baba Yaga? The women of the town weave a tale of folklore and foul play that will have you laughing and keep you guessing until the very end.

Yaga premiered at Toronto's Tarragon Theatre where The Globe and Mail said it “triumphantly reclaimed the evil-woman myth. Move over, Wicked and Maleficent, and welcome Yaga to the sisterhood.” The Winnipeg Free Press also declared it "Thrilling. [Forces] the audience to reconsider everything it thinks it knows about character tropes." Noted theatre director Barbara Damashek will direct.

Please be advised this production contains mature language, implied violence, and witchcraft.
