Review: Behaviour at the Great Canadian Theatre Company tells a MeToo story on Parliament Hill, with daring shifts GlobeArts
– a new play by Darrah Teitel now on at the Great Canadian Theatre Company in Ottawa, and soon to be broadcast online across the country – is one of the smartest plays to respond to the #MeToo movement to date.
For the first section of the play, we watch Mara in short scenes as she almost seems to sleepwalk through life at home and work. She accidentally becomes pregnant by her boyfriend Evan , an entitled artist whom she financially supports. After two interns report sexual harassment by an MP, Mara, now a new mom, snaps out of her trancelike state – exemplified to this point in director Michael Wheeler’s production by echoing eighties music and just the barest of an outline of a set designed by Shannon Lea Doyle. And that’s when the play’s surprises begin.changes shape radically.
