Not these two, but they will talk about it for 60 minutes and maybe stumble upon an answer.

Please Take Note:
Dressed As People is comprised of three separate monologues. The first one, Skinless, by Kelly Robson, deals with institutional violence against young women and children. Although this monologue tells a different story, we recognize that audience members may find parallels to recent disturbing news in Canada. We want you all to feel safe and be able to enjoy the stories we are sharing. If you would be more comfortable knowing what is coming, you may want to refer to the transcript, available on our ticket page in the checkout add-on section.

Beowulf In Afghanistan is written by Laurie Fyffe and directed by Kate Smith, with performances by Axandre Lemours & Laurie Fyffe. Sound Design is by Lydia Talajic. Stage Manager: Lydia Talajic.
A classics professor, Louise, receives a partly burned copy of the poem Beowulf from a former student, Grant, a young man enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. Memories and stories merge as the professor recalls the tale of an ancient world tormented by the scourge of the monster Grendel, and GRANT recounts his combat experiences fighting the Taliban. From the desolate moors of an Anglo Saxon realm to the treacherous terrain of modern warfare, Beowulf in Afghanistan revisits a tale of heroes and monsters and asks if the words of an ancient poem can heal the wounds of war.
