The Citadel Theatre presents The Citadel Theatre www.citadeltheatre.com Simon and his twin sister Janine have been summoned to the notary's office to hear the last will and testament of their mother, Nawal. Each is handed an envelope to deliver to someone they didn’t know existed. And so the mystery begins. The letters send them on a journey into their mother’s past, to a country engulfed in civil war, where she was a political activist and later became a prisoner of war. Through poetic language and startling imagery, the play connects the origins of these three members of a family in shocking and unforgettable ways. “This is a Canadian classic-in-waiting that stares into humanity's darkest corners and doesn’t flinch or succumb to despair… This haunting work may be the best piece of theatre this country has produced this millennium.” –J. Kelly Nestruck, The Globe and Mail
