Autumn ProductionICEMEN
by Vern Thiessen March, 1936. Simcoe County, Ontario. A wealthy businessman wakes up bound and gagged in a utility shed, taken hostage by his own employees: brothers and ice harvesters, Joe and Rennie. In the depths of the Great Depression, their livelihood is dying of the onset of refrigeration, which will only further enrich their employer. Desperate to claim what's rightfully theirs, these honest workers turned reluctant captors will stop at nothing to give their greedy boss his final reckoning. The latest play by Governor General's Literary Award-winner Vern Thiessen, Icemen is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that exposes the human cost of capitalism and asks, when the wealthy exploit the working class, who are the real criminals? Produced by Brendan Boisvenue and Peter Labelle Directed by Paul Aubin |
