A teacher-student confrontation flies out of control. What has pushed them to this point? Do we blame the student's parents or the school system? How much fault rests with a society desensitized to violence? In this riveting new work, playwright Michelle Riml brings us into a school counsellor's office - an intimate space where ideas are exchanged, threats are made, and no solution seems the easy way out. Rage challenges all of us to confront our notions of what makes a radical and what makes a pacifist. In a life or death situation, how would you react?

Touring: Belfry Theatre- Victoria, March 18-22, 2009

Feedback and Reviews

I had the pleasure of attending the Saturday night performance of Rage. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop - that was how engaged the audience was. The script was superb, the play was intense, and the performances outstanding. I was very impressed.
