BWW Review: Canadian Slavery and Women's Mistreatment Motivate ANGELIQUE in Gripping Toronto Premiere
Late playwright Lorena Gale's ANGELIQUE makes its Toronto debut in this Black Theatre Workshop and Tableau D'Hote co-production, presented by Factory Theatre and Obsidian Theatre. The play follows the true story behind Marie Joseph Angelique, an enslaved black woman, as she attempts to navigate the cruel world of slavery in 1700s Montreal. Her story, like many enslaved peoples, ends in tragedy as Angelique is hanged based on accusations of setting a fire that destroyed a large part of the colony in 1734.
