Potosí
After a sell-out run at the 2014 Toronto Fringe, good old neon is thrilled to announce the remount of their controversial production of Potosí. Potosí will be the first of four plays presented as part of good old neon's inaugural 2015/2016 season. Written and directed by Alexander Offord, the production will be presented with a re-worked script in the intimate Studio 109 at Artscape Youngplace.

The story follows a young emissary from a Canadian mining corporation sent to a remote country to investigate reports of sexual violence at the mine. As ethnic civil war breaks out, she is taken hostage at gunpoint by a former miner. A psychological game of cat-and-mouse ensues in this darkly funny parable on colonialism, gender, and greed.

WARNING: Sexual violence, graphic content, and mature themes.

Additionally, in lieu of the controversy around the play's original production, good old neon has invited guest artists/colleagues to moderate post-show discussions after each performance surrounding the various topics of the play. The audience is invited to stay post-show and participate in this forum. Stay tuned for details on our guest moderators and the themes for each discussion.
