From the award-winning theatre ensemble that brought you POMONA, MOMENT, and HUMAN ANIMALS comes another thrilling and ambitious production; ARC proudly presents the Canadian premiere of Ella Hickson's OIL

OIL follows the lives of May (Bahareh Yaraghi) and her daughter Amy (Samantha Brown) through a swirling collision of empire, history and family. An epic five-part, two-act play spanning 200 years, Hickson's explosive play leaps from the dawn of the industrial age to a futuristic post-petroleum world and beyond.

OIL will be performed in Toronto's beloved west-end arts space, Geary Lane, located at 360 Geary Avenue, just north of Dufferin and Dupont.

Runs February 29 - March 21, 2020 (Opening night March 3).
