Butcher – November 3-29, Centaur Theatre LiveEvents October 28, 2015 5930 Centaur Theatre Company presents Butcher Written by Nicolas Billon Directed by Roy Surette Loyalty. Revenge. Justice. A political thriller for our times. Christmas Eve. Present Day. An elderly man wearing a foreign military uniform and a Santa hat is dumped on the front steps of a police station. He doesn’t speak English, and a lawyer’s business card pierced on a butcher’s hook hangs around his neck, bearing the words: ARREST ME. The lawyer and a translator are summoned and from then on aliases and allegiances shock and surprise as the plot unfurls with more twists and turns than a coiled python about to strike. Is this man a notorious war criminal wanted by both Interpol and a group of survivors known as the Furies? An edge-of-your-seat, nail-biter of a nothing-is-as-it-seems tale of war crimes and the murky waters between revenge and justice. For tickets and information: www.centaurtheatre.com or 514-288-3161
