Things are turning around for Evie – new relationship, great job, happily sober – when her past comes crashing into her life like an incoming missile. When asked to join a lawsuit by LGBTQ+ service people purged from the Canadian military, she must decide whether she can face the events that transpired at CFS Shelburne while wrangling the real and ethereal ghosts who come with it. It will require Evie to dig deeper into her arsenal than the biting sarcasm and razor-sharp wit she wears like armour. Award winning playwright, Natalie Meisner, explores this challenging chapter of history with humour and heart.
While the characters themselves are invented, SubHuman is inspired by true events. Because laughter is an important survival strategy for many of the strong women who came through the “Purge”, there is a lot of it in the play. This is a comedy about serious things.
