Intrepid Theatre

Evelyn is a Perfect Housewife, stewing in her own repressed juices. Unconsciously frustrated by the dreary duties of domestic life, she discovers, in the course of her chores, deep, mysterious, primal urges, and struggle as she might to stay spic & span, shit gets dirty. A one-woman play in a surreal bouffon universe, Domesticated Disputes explores the wild impulses lurking under the carpet of even the most perfect home. materialtheatre.ca
