"The next thing you know I'm being tried for war crimes. Makes me laugh. If war is a crime, why do we keep having them?"
The Monument
An unnamed country. A young soldier convicted of war crimes. A middle-aged woman who is both his saviour and tormentor. Colleen Wagner's Governor General's Award winning play is a brutal and timely testament to the passions of ordinary people in not so ordinary circumstances. In unflinching detail, The Monument dissects the roles of victim and perpetrator, leaving us with the question of how, and at what price, do we honour the victims of civil and ethnic strife.
The Monument is directed by David Bloom and stars Stuart Pierre and Linda Quibell. Designed by Barbara Clayden, Noah Drew, Andreas Kahre and Del Surjik. Stage Management by Joanne P.B. Smith with technical direction by Craig Hall. The production team of The Monument is joined by Studio 58 production intern Joel Etkin (assistant stage manager). A See Seven show.
