The Dark Wood by David Lefort Nugent

by David Lefort Nugent

WORLD PREMIERE

Set in a remote region of Quebec, Dante’s Inferno informs the mystical and poetic world of this play as a prodigal son battles with his guilt-ridden father to escape the isolation of his family home. A gifted musician, the son yearns for life as a musician, a dream which is encouraged by his new lover – and dashed by his threatened father who mysteriously disappears. The son’s world falls apart – the house begins to decay…he no longer remembers his music...the line between reality and dream becomes a blur. Desperate and confused, he rejects his new girlfriend and descends into suicidal darkness. Will the appearance of his father’s ghost remove the veil of secrecy, expose truth and provide a path to reconciliation…and peace? The Dark Wood is performed by an extraordinary trio of actors, Dan Colman, Michael Cullen and Christianna Nelson.
