Haunted by the stories and songs of their Scottish ancestry, two brothers seek to reconcile their past in this sweeping saga of familial loss and love. A bittersweet rumination on the ties that bind, this evocative memory play takes us from a squalid Kensington Market rooming house in Toronto to Cape Breton’s stormy shores and the deep mines of Elliot Lake.

No Great Mischief premiered at Tarragon Theatre in 2004 and subsequently was presented in Ottawa, Vancouver and Halifax.

Award-winning playwright, novelist and screenwriter David S. Young’s other plays include Glenn, Inexpressible Island, Clout, Love is Strange and Fire (co-written with Paul Ledoux).

You cannot help but be moved by the depth of their work.... You will be held, and touched and leave the theatre clinging to one of the many truths this play teaches us. Toronto Star

No Great Mischief is the best play I have seen in over 30 years of attending Tarragon.MP Moore, Patron
