The Monument

Tickets and Information

An unnamed country. A young soldier convicted of war crimes. A middle-aged woman who is both his saviour and tormentor.
Colleen Wagner's Governor General's Award winning play is a brutal
and timely testament to the passions of ordinary people in not so
ordinary circumstances. In unflinching detail, The Monument dissects
the roles of victim and perpetrator, leaving us with the question of
how, and at what price, do we honour the victims of civil and ethnic
strife. Can humankind forgive and eventually recover from unspeakable
acts of violence perpetrated against its self?
