Meet the team behind Virginia Wolf! Here is our Assistant Director, Murdoch Schon. Murdoch is a director, dramaturg and puppeteer. Winnipeg-born, they have been involved in the Montreal English theatre scene for almost a decade. Murdoch is fascinated by provocation, vulnerability, and the role of risk and failure in art-making. Murdoch believes that theatre rises to its true power through the practices of ritual liminality, community and imagination. They insist on the wondro...us nature of theatre as a transformative space where rulers can fail, heroes can rise, and monsters seem more familiar than angels. Murdoch is a graduate of the National Theatre School’s Directing Program and has a BFA, Specialization in Theatre and Development, from Concordia University. Virginia Wolf opens tomorrow!
