The Upstage Interview is a weekly feature at CharPo and is a result of The Charlebois Post's partnership with Upstage: Theatre on Radio on CKUT.Upstage and CharPo contributor Sarah Deshaies spoke with Director Stacey Christodoulou about The Other Theatre’s presentation of Réhabilitation by Greg MacArthur. Below is an abridged version of the interview transcribed by Estelle Rosen, CharPo Editor-in-Chief.
Réhabilitation takes place at a recovery centre in Antarctica where a unique treatment bringing peace, tranquility and forgetfulness is used on those deemed to be in the grip of an addiction that must be cured before it reaches catastrophic consequences. Greg MacArthur’s play warns against the suppression of individuality in the face of conformity, consumerism, and the pursuit of comfort at any cost.
