Mortified
Written by: Amy Rutherford Directed by: Anita Rochon Presented by: Studio 58 and Touchstone Theatre Winner of the Playwrights Guild of Canada's Carol Bolt Award for Best Play of 2018, Mortified explores adolescent sex, shame and transformation and how we reckon with the traumatic experiences that have shaped us. Mortified is currently in development with the CBC and will be published by Playwrights Canada Press in 2022. "... Mortified feels whole and perfect in the same way that a body can feel whole and perfect: it’s just that organic, sensual—and complicated." Colin Thomas " Taking on the suffocating feeling of a young woman dealing with sexual assault and trauma, Mortified does so with grace and humour. It is a beautiful and memorable piece of theatre that will not be easily forgotten." Katie Gartlan-Close –Vancouver Presents
The Public Servant Written by: Jennifer Brewin, Haley McGee and Sarah McVie and Amy Rutherford Presented by: Common Boots Theatre, GCTC, Nightwood Theatre. Nominated Best Ensemble – Dora Mavor Moore Awards Published by: The Canadian Theatre Review Inspired by dozens of interviews with public servants, this laugh-out-loud comedy is a vivid portrayal of never-ending protocols, heroic dedication and the sometimes fuzzy divide between personal need and public good. "it may be the most successful Canadian attempt to parody life inside politics and the civil service."
