A Whistle in the Dark

About the Production

A Whistle in the Dark was The Company Theatre's debut production. Described by the National Post as 'one of the best things ever seen in Canada,' this powerful Irish drama by Tom Murphy announced The Company Theatre's arrival on Toronto's theatre scene. Settled in Coventry with his new wife Betty, Michael Carney Jr. is attempting to lead a new life. But leaving Ireland couldn't set him free, and once the Carney brothers descend, there's no way out. The production was nominated for the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding Production and was remounted in 2007 at LSPU Hall in Newfoundland and Toronto's Young Centre for the Performing Arts.
