Matchstick Theatre presents: Catherine Banks' Bitter Rose

While reading the morning obituaries, Rose wonders how she will be remembered. As a mother? As a wife? As an artist? In her desire to be seen and heard, she dons her wedding dress and visits her daughters' school, her husband’s university, and the Superstore. Eventually Rose finds herself alone again in the basement. Filled with memories and the weight of her choices, she opens up and unpacks her life, retracing the steps that have lead her to today. By inspecting her seemingly-perfect existence, Rose begins to understand the true cost of pursuing her art.

Catherine Banks' Bitter Rose will be playing at The Bus Stop Theatre Co-op from June 8th-11th, with the support of Theatre Nova Scotia. Tickets are only $10 until May 22^nd, after which they are $15 / $12 for students, underwaged, seniors, and Bus Stop Co-op members.
