Post Eden is a 'live film' about a fantastical day in the life of one suburban family in Richmond Hill. Inspired by interviews conducted with a dozen residents of the real-life street of Neighbourly Lane, playwright/director Jordan Tannahill creates a multi-media fantasia in which a girl exhumes her dead family dog from her backyard in order to break a curse that has befallen her family. Actors onstage interact with their filmic selves in disarming ways, as the lines between documentary and fantasy blur.

"An incredibly original production that mingles video with live theatre, documentary with fiction, and animal with human, Post Eden totally gets its liminality on, and totally rocks it." - The Torontoist
