Centaur Theatre Company is proud to present the world premiere of With Bated Breath, a new play by Bryden MacDonald, author of Divinity Bash/Nine Lives, The Weekend Healer and Whale Riding Weather. 4/21-5/24
With Bated Breath is the sensual and provocative tale of Willy (Michael Sutherland-Young), a troubled but charismatic gay kid who flees Cape Breton Island for Montreal with the hopes of forgetting a newly broken heart. He finds momentary comfort with the denizens of the city's red light district, but soon goes missing without a trace. Willy, in one-way or another, has had a profound effect on the lives of the other characters. His presence lingers.
As rumors fly, secrets explode, and reality blurs with fantasy, Willy is both remembered and reinvented by his friend and protector, Esta (Sarah C. Carlsen); Float (Éloi Archambaudoin), the jaded young stripper who takes him under his wing in Montreal; Camilla (Felicia Shulman), the small-town gossip with a few secrets of her own; Bernie (Neil Napier), a man running from his past, and his wife, Ricotta (Danette Mackay), a flamboyant and outspoken fading party girl whose on-the-rocks relationship takes a drastic turn after they invite Willy into their home.
