Terminus

by Mark O’Rowe

One of the Top 10 Shows of the Decade – NOW Magazine 

A mother with a heavy conscience races to save a near-stranger from an anarchic band of lesbians. A daughter finds comfort, sex and even love in the “arms” of a disembodied soul. And a dangerous loner prowls Irish pubs, longing to belt Bette Midler for all to hear. Terminus explores the darkness that insecurity drives us to, and the light that comes from shedding who we’ve been, and accepting who we are.

Powerful, thought-provoking and beautiful to listen to, Terminus was the hottest ticket at the 2012 SummerWorks Festival and received the “Prize for Production”. The production was subsequently picked up to be the inaugural production for David Mirvish’s Off-Mirvish Season at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. Since then, we’ve taken the piece across Canada, as part of OtM’s first national tour.

It made me squirm, but held me firm, so sure as sure I’m gonna gush: See Terminus, you really must, A ROYAL FLUSH
