a profoundly affectionate, passionate devotion
to someone (-noun)

November 11 – December 7, 2025

Three couples.
What might be.
What once was.
What could have been.

…profoundly… is a bold and unflinching exploration of love, desire, and human connection. Intimate, raw, and deeply moving, where hope meets vulnerability, and longing becomes language of its own. A must-see experience for those that believe ‘love’ is more than just a word – it’s an act, a feeling, a surrender.

With laughter through tears and the chasms between them, this triptych beautifully weaves the journeys of three couples seeking connection against all the elements that separate them. After the critically-acclaimed World Premiere at UK’s Royal Court, Tarragon and Obsidian come together in bringing a brand new production to Canada, marking its North American debut.

…profoundly…  runs approximately 90 minutes without intermission.

* There will be a Mask-Required Performance on Saturday, November 22 @ 2 PM.

* There will be a Relaxed Environment Performance on Saturday, November 29 @ 2 PM.
