The Waltz

OCTOBER 22 – NOVEMBER 13 2022

Written by Marie Beath Badian

Directed by Nina Lee Aquino

A Factory production in partnership with Blyth Festival | World Premiere

Audiences who loved Factory’s 2018 production of Prairie Nurse, get ready! Marie Beath Badian is returning to the Factory stage this October with the World Premiere of its sequel – The Waltz.

Love at first sight is total fiction.

It’s August 1993, 24 years after the events of Prairie Nurse.

Romeo Alvarez is travelling across the country from Ontario to British Columbia to attend University when he makes a pit-stop in Saskatchewan to connect with some of his mom’s old friends. His journey leads him to a remote cabin where his unexpected arrival is greeted by a suspicious Beatrice Klassen. It is here, on these doorsteps of a rustic cabin in North East Saskatchewan that two teenagers, whose histories are serendipitously interweaved, spend one evening with a boom box under the magnificent Saskatchewan sky at dusk.

A romantic comedy that is sure to capture the hearts of audiences, The Waltz explores whether we ever truly feel at home in the world.

Tickets range from $10 - $60 with a limited number of $0 tickets available at every performance. Audiences are invited to select the ticket price that works best for them to experience theatre at Factory.
