POMONA

By Alistair McDowall
Directed by Sean Carney

“Everything bad is real.”

Ollie's sister is missing. Searching desperately, she finds herself drawn into a criminal underworld populated by misfits, outcasts and lost souls. Her labyrinthine quest leads her to the desolate concrete wasteland called Pomona. Here, in the abandoned heart of the city, journeys end … and nightmares are born.

A sinister and surreal thriller from Alistair McDowall, Pomona received its professional premiere in 2014 at the Orange Tree Theatre, London. The critically acclaimed production then transferred to the Royal National Theatre stage in 2015.

Please note: this theatre production contains mature language, graphic content, and adult themes.

“Brilliantly creepy and compelling … The piece remains forever slippery about recognizing evil.” – The Independent

The show was presented on November 23, 24, 25 and 30 and December 1 and 2, 2022 in the Moyse Hall Theatre, McCall MacBain Arts Building.

Two young people with black jackets and a young person impersonating an older woman look concerned. In the back we see a video projection of downtown Montreal at night.

A young person wearing a plaid skirt is holding on to a paper bad, looking worried. Next to her is a person sitting on the floor, wearing a montruous squid mask and holding up their hands as if holding an object.

A young man and women dressed in colourful clothes on a colourful urban background are talking energetically.
