Set in Toronto’s Orthodox Jewish community, Yichud (Seclusion) is an unforgiving, tender and humorous exploration of the universal desire for intimacy and how we cope with the repression of that desire. The first incarnation of this remarkable work was developed by Convergence Theatre at Toronto Fringe’s Next Stage Festival in January where it garnered high praise. This newly redeveloped production will take over the building as it drops us into the intimate moments surrounding the arranged marriage of Rachel & Chaim and the impact their union has on their families.
