The Ventriloquist

For her sixteenth birthday, Gaby receives a pen. Everything she writes with it becomes true. She wants to write “The most beautiful love story in the world,” but her brother steals her magic pen. As an adult, Gaby now has to endure Doctor Limestone’s bizarre therapy as he tries to force her to finish the story. But who is the real marionette? Told in the form of a ventriloquist who communicates through a puppet of the teenaged girl, The Ventriloquist explores family, memory, and the struggle to find one’s authentic voice.

A stunning play by the author of Dragonfly of Chicoutimi, a triumph at Factory in 2002. Starring Meg Roe and Nigel Shawn Williams.
