The Seaway Valley Theatre Company invites you to attend their next production, “Burn,” by Ottawa-based playwright, John Muggleton.
Long-time friends Robert (Nick Merizzi), Samira (Mariela Ortiz-Maxwell), and David (Louis D. Jacobs) gather after the death of their friend, Paul (voiced by Paul Aubin), a renowned horror writer. Paul’s estranged daughter, Eve (Madison Todd), arrives with a mysterious package at his behest, setting an eerie tone. As the wine flows, Eve shares a chilling ghost story intertwined with private, unsettling details possibly linked to the disappearance of Tara (voiced by Jenny Dagenais), Robert’s missing wife, with whom Paul was close. A series of twists unfold, heightening suspense and leaving the audience on the edge of their seats. A critically acclaimed, award-winning Canadian play, “Burn” is a tense psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.
SVTC vice president Peter Labelle, who is producing his fourth show for the company, is bringing this gripping story to Cornwall. Cameron MacPhee, a seasoned figure in Cornwall’s performing arts community known for his talent as an actor and a musician, is making his directorial debut for the SVTC. With such a skilled team at the helm, you can be sure that “Burn” will be a production to remember.
