Wind

Inspired by true events.

When Will returns home to his family’s farm after graduating from university, he feels like an outsider. His neighbours don’t really remember him, his dad doesn’t know what to do with him, and he can’t find a job. When he notices his neighbours up in arms over the recent wind farm development in the area, he jumps at the chance to join in the conversation and get to know his neighbours better… and maybe write his first big play while he’s at it. The deeper he digs, however, the more he realizes that his neighbours are falling for dangerous conspiracies and his own dad may be slipping out into the fringes with them.

From the playwright who brought you the multi-award-winning Ottawa Fringe hit, The City Aquarium is Proud to Present: The Marvellous Mermaids of Merriment™, comes the world premiere of Wind, a documentary theatre play that blends humour, politics, and family dynamics into a beautifully nuanced story that is sure to spark discussion.
