PLAYWRIGHT: McKenna James Boeckner

DIRECTOR: Michael Lake

CAST: Ryan Gallant, Alicia Polonsky, GaRRy Williams, and Lucas Popowich

When Mikael receives a phone call from his estranged father back in the Ukrainian settlement of Shellmouth Valley, Manitoba, his diasporic history intrudes on his budding relationship with boyfriend Dan and his process of finding roots on the East Coast of Canada. Caught within a resultant depressive spiral, Mikael butts heads with the stodgily masculine Polish man in the adjacent condominium unit, Andrzej, who is stuck on the opposite end of a familial diaspora. Through recognition of mirrored trauma rooted within the ongoing Eastern European unrest in Canada and abroad, the two men grow to find queer comfort in each other’s well-worn arms, re-finding joy in their enmeshed unsettlements.
