In the darkest depths, create your own light.

Deepwater

October 20 - November 1, 2026
Scotiabank Studio Stage

 Radiant Series 

A "surreal procedural" following RCMP Inspector Questa Bennett as she investigates a mysterious cold case involving a reclusive marine biologist whose young daughter went missing four years ago.

At its core, this 2024 Playwrights Guild of Canada Drama Award winner is a bold new work that questions the unknowable nature of life as two mothers strive to navigate a world so bizarre that it gives us creatures like the octopus - brilliant, yet deceptive - as well as the anglerfish - forsaken, yet misunderstood.

Through this raw, challenging, and hopeful story, Deepwater explores the various ways that we - like much deep-sea life - must create our own light when we feel the most lost.
