Jewish Canadian theatre artist, now based in the UK, Edith Tankus, presents her show Wild Country, an intimate and absurd, one-person exploration of motherhood, exile and transformation. Part storytelling, part standup, part myth, it asks the question: How does an urban Canadian raising children in rural Kent, England with declining parents back home, learn the codes of survival?

This frank, moving, and entertaining performance includes a scene describing the realities of married peoples’ sex lives.

Canadian premiere. Co-presented through a partnership with SFU Woodward’s Cultural Programs.

Sponsored by RBC.
