Fire in the Meth Lab
SOLOS Festival + MainLine Theatre
Dear Brother,
How's jail? How many cigarettes does it cost for a picture of a naked lady? Are you getting really strong? I’ve written a show about you, is that ok? You're in jail so you can't really say no.
Love from your little brother,
Jon
Renowned Australian storyteller Jon Bennett tells the amazingly sordid and bizarre story of his brother's life. A sometimes shocking and chaotic tale, Bennett recounts his brother's experiences with both charismatic hilarity and heart-warming, poignant reflection.
Fire in the Meth Lab tells of drug dealers, bikers, high-speed car chases, fights, crime, prison, vomit, exploding houses and even cancer. The show explores brotherly relationships and how siblings with the same upbringing can choose very separate paths.
Written by and Starring Jon Bennett

Coming Soon
The Creator of the Universe is coming to Montréal for the first time ever! God takes the stage in the form of Montréal actor Donald Rees in An Act of God: the divinely funny, critically acclaimed Broadway hit play by David Javerbaum, in which God and His devoted angels answer the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since creation.
"Le Collectif Les Tisseuses s’est formé à partir de l’envie de rassembler des femmes et des personnes non binaires autour du jeu théâtral en décloisonnant les pratiques et les imaginaires. Il est composé de huit artistes aux origines, pratiques et vécus multiples.
Les Tisseuses ouvrent leur espace créatif avec une étape de la pièce Notre tour c’est quand?, une proposition scénique intimiste.
La pièce raconte l'histoire des funérailles de Pilar, la matriarche d'un quartier. On y retrouve des femmes aux horizons pluriels venues honorer la mémoire de celle qui a su entrelacer leurs existences en leur offrant la possibilité d’assembler leurs histoires. À travers ce moment de deuil, se tissent des liens qui transcendent les frontières de leur famille, de leur quartier et de leur pays, offrant un portrait poignant de la force des relations féminines et de la sororité.
En se rassemblant à la croisée des cycles de vies, les personnages que vous allez rencontrer s’adressent des questions millénaires, et cheminent au cœur de leurs vérités en nous rappelant qu’il n’est de refuge plus solide que celui de nos solidarités.
La pièce s’achèvera par un échange entre les artistes et le public, permettant de recueillir les impressions de ce dernier. Modéré par la directrice artistique du festival.
