Sea Theatre presents Plan B by Governor General Award winner Michael Healey
“...tear inducingly funny.” The Globe and Mail
High-level meetings to negotiate the departure of Québec from Canada are charged by personal impulses toward seduction and betrayal, union and division, intimacy and distance. The action takes place in a hotel bedroom and a boardroom - a private space and a public space. Music, humour, sex and politics are the key metaphors in this truly Canadian farce.
 “...Michael Healey has created a hard-edged but hilarious political satire...It’s essential theatre...” Maclean’s
