GEODE by Aaron Jan

It’s lunchtime at Westdale Secondary School and the Campaign to Re-elect Sydney Porier as student council president is in crisis. An altercation with opponent Arnold Wong led to Sydney hurling a geode from science class at his head. The school is outraged, social media is abuzz, the vice principal might become involved – unless Sydney apologizes. The only trouble is, Sydney does not feel sorry. Explore the ethics of public apologies in a teenage political thriller about the cutthroat world of campaigns and social media.

​

GEODE was commissioned by Boca Del Lupo in partnership with Factory Theatre as a part of the Ontario box version of  Plays2Perform@Home. The box includes new, short plays by myself, Jeff Ho, Marina Moreira and Rachel Mutombo (http://bocadellupo.com/plays2perform/).

​

Groups of four can act and perform GEODE at home, outside, or anywhere they want!

​

GEODE was dramaturged by Matt McGeachy and Sherry Yoon and is available for purchase at https://boca-del-lupo-theatre.square.site/
