A Jewish legal aid lawyer has been assigned to defend a neo-Nazi Skinhead who has been accused of the heinous racially motivated murder of an East Indian immigrant in this unblinking examination of hatred, the explosive effect it has on our society, and the hurdles that confront us as we set about eradicating it.
The Toronto Star "Explosive new drama... a provocative exploration of the inescapable and insidious presence of hatred in our society."
The Globe & Mail, Toronto "poignantly lyrical monologues... terror and insight... dark comedy and swift horror... larger thematic goals that make “Cherry Docs” impressive... Gow's belief that we must confront the hatred within ourselves and our society are troubling, touching and convincing.
*Thursday, Sept. 29th and Wednesday, Oct. 5th will both have a brief talk back session with the Director and Cast following the performance.

Un avocat juif de l'aide juridique a été désigné pour défendre un skinhead néonazi qui a été accusé du meurtre odieux à motivation raciale d'un immigrant des Indes orientales dans cet examen sans hésitation de la haine, de l'effet explosif qu'elle a sur notre société et des obstacles qui nous confronter alors que nous nous efforçons de l'éradiquer.
La pièce sera présentée en anglais
Toronto Star "Nouveau drame explosif... une exploration provocatrice de la présence inéluctable et insidieuse de la haine dans notre société."
Le Globe & Mail, Toronto "des monologues lyriques poignants... terreur et perspicacité... comédie noire et horreur rapide... des objectifs thématiques plus vastes qui rendent "Cherry Docs" impressionnant... La conviction de Gow que nous devons affronter la haine en nous-mêmes et dans notre société est troublante, touchant et convaincant."
