Dave Carley’s work stands out for its questing intelligence, warm humanity and engaging storytelling. (Variety)
Nowhere are these qualities more evident than in Carley’s drama Taking Liberties. Now set for its fifth Toronto production, Taking Liberties is being presented in the ballroom of Campbell House Museum in February 2020.
Taking Liberties examines five critical moments in the life of a city, when ordinary citizens are forced to make extraordinary choices. The play moves back in time through five decades, showing how the moral dilemmas of one era can impact the events of another.
The uncomfortable questions the play raises revolve around the limits of free speech in our society. The issues the play raises have never been more relevant than they are today.
Taking Liberties is being produced by the Taking Liberties Collective and runs from February 5 to 23. It is directed by Cecily Smith and stars Alison Beckwith, Tristan Claxton, Hayden Finkelshtain, John Jarvis and Cecily Smith.
In conjunction with the play, there are six special talkbacks focusing on issues raised in the play. In all cases, the talkbacks directly follow the performances.
