Fantasy, reality, and impossibility intertwine as Cressida tries to break a curse on her family.
Content Notes
- Mature Language – there is one case of “shit”
- Violence – a character is stabbed and dies, it is theatrical and non graphic but with blood visible on the sword. Another character is held at knife point.
- Mental Health – the play is in part an exploration of the concept of Narrative Therapy, and how people end up trapped in narratives that don’t meet their needs. There are various examples of characters dealing with mental health in general, though no specific diagnosed conditions.

Six souls wrestle with the narratives they’ve built for themselves from hopes, fears, and desires. A Rabbit is rather too anxious about the time, considering it’s Fringe. Golden Threads holds a kaleidoscope up to fairy tale archetypes and takes you on a surreal and gothic journey for redemption.
Profits from the show will be donated to the Ottawa Trans Library, who work to preserve and share diverse stories as well as provide safer spaces for community building. Find out more about their mission at: https://ottawatranslibrary.ca
