Tribes – November 29 to December 20, Segal Theatre LiveEvents November 23, 2015 4034 A Segal Centre Production Tribes MONTREAL PREMIERE! By Nina Raine Directed by Sarna Lapine Introducing Jack Volpe as Billy “How can you feel a feeling unless you have the word for it?” The only deaf member of an eccentric, intellectual family, Billy longs to be heard. When a romance with a woman who teaches him sign language opens him up to a new world of self-expression, Billy discovers that instead of trying to fit into his family’s world, he can break out and find his own. Quick-witted, funny and moving Tribes is a powerful look at language, love, and what it truly means to be understood. “Best-written, best-plotted, deepest, most daring – and funniest – new play in recent years” -The Wall Street Journal “Extraordinary… scintillating” -The New Yorker “A smart, lively…play that asks us to hear how we hear, in silence as well as in speech.” -NY Times. “There’s so much going on in…TRIBES… intellect and sentiment, love and cruelty, witty zingers and biting put-downs. But in Nina Raine’s dazzling play, too much is a good thing.” – NY Post “TRIBES made me excited about … theatre again; I haven’t been this knocked out by a play in a long time.” – NYTheatre.com Presented with ASL Interpretation: November 30 at 8pm / December 7 at 7pm / December 13 at 2pm Sunday @ The Segal Pre-Show chat:November 29 at 11am Monday Night Talkbacks post-show conversation: December 7 & 14 Class Act Theatre Club: December 1 at 6:30pm Segal Theatre 5170 chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine, Montreal, H3W 1M7 For tickets and information: www.segalcentre.org 514-739-7944 Related
