SONNY’S WAY
Sonny’s Way was developed as a part of the Indigenous Artist Residency at the National Theatre School of Canada. It has since had a readings in Montreal and in Toronto at Native Earth’s Weesageechak Begins to Dance Festival in November of 2019.
Inspired by James Baldwin’s short story Sonny’s Blues it is a play that investigates how we judge the ways in which certain individuals choose to take on the struggles of life. The story follows two Indigenous brothers who are reunited after some time apart and lets us in to how two people who grew up under the same circumstances end up living entirely different lives.
