Based in the heart of Vancouver, Théâtre la Seizième is famous across Canada for its top-quality touring productions. This spring the company arrives in Ottawa with a brand new adaptation of B.C. playwright James Long’s apocalyptic drama, La vue d’en Haut (The View from Above), translated by Philippe Ducros and directed by Ottawa’s own Craig Holzschuh.

Politically and environmentally aware, the story pinpoints two of Vancouver’s current preoccupations – its weather and the plight of the homeless – and displays them at an extreme. With an inexorable downpour and a family on the brink of desperation, the scariest thing about this play is how close it comes to the truth.
