Tarragon Theatre presents world premiere of Wormwood by actor and acclaimed playwright Andrew Kushnir (Small Axe, The Middle Place, The Gay Heritage Project) in his first play for Tarragon Theatre.

With a powerhouse ensemble filled with some of Canada's finest actors, this stirring and politically-charged work explores identity, mythology and the fight for human dignity as it tells the story of a young Canadian's journey to Ukraine during the Orange Revolution.

A modern-day folk-tale, Tarragon Playwright-in-Residence Kushnir brings us a Ukrainian-Canadian fantasia (in three languages: English, Ukrainian and Russian) about reconciling one's ideals with a complex political reality,

Says Kushnir, "Wormwood is the first time I've written a love story. The play has a young man of the Diaspora coming to observe the 2004 elections in Ukraine, only to be drawn into the revolution in ways he hadn't bargained for. He is finally encountering the place and people he was taught to love. He wants them to achieve their dignity because, on some level, it affirms his own."
