The Show

A woman asks a man to tell her story. But why?

In Red Like Fruit, Governor General’s Award-winning playwright Hannah Moscovitch crafts a gripping, provocative new work that unpacks power, memory, and complicity in the post-#MeToo era.

Lauren is a journalist covering a high-profile case of domestic violence, but as she digs deeper, something inside her starts to crack. She begins revisiting events from her own past—memories she thought she understood but now sees in a new, unsettling light. Unable to trust her own recollections, she turns to Luke, asking him to narrate her life. But as he pieces together her story, an eerie question looms: why did she ask him in the first place?

With Moscovitch’s signature sharpness and emotional depth, Red Like Fruit is a taut, psychological unraveling of power, gender, and who gets to shape the stories we tell about women’s lives.
