Dead MetaphorFrom one of Canada’s most celebrated playwrights comes this sharpshooting dark comedy about a soldier just back from Afghanistan. Trained as a sniper, Dean finds there isn’t a lot of call for his specialty back home. Meantime, he’s living with his aging parents and just re-married his pregnant ex-wife. Things start to look up, though, when he meets Helen, a rabid politician who, in her rise to the top, may have a use for his skills after all.

With its mix of desperate characters and crazed politics, Dead Metaphor is a play for our times.
