Recovery

“Rumble Productions scores again with Greg MacArthur’s depressing, biting and brilliant comedy.” – The Globe and Mail

A new work by Greg MacArthur, one of this country’s most exciting and subversive playwrights. Around the world, people are succumbing to the addictive pleasures of a mysterious new substance. Society is threatened. But not to fear, “They” are taking care of everything. A speculative examination of an addicted world and the ramifications of a 500 billion dollar pharmaceutical industry, recovery is a sometimes funny, sometimes horrific tale about the commodification of fear and the oppression of the individual.
