Crossing & Other Plays showcases the work of Vancouver playwright and Lambda Literary Award finalist C. E. Gatchalian. CBC Radio stated: "Gatchalian is well on his way to making his mark in contemporary drama." Gatchalian's plays are reminders of the power of sexuality, trauma and the human condition.
Crossing explores the tormented, sexually charged relationship between a mother and her teenage son, bound together by guilt and fear over a horrific incident that occurred ten years prior. Diamond is an elliptical, metatheatrical dissection of one woman’s intimate story. Ticks is the frantic, metronome-accompanied monologue of a self-appointed, disease-stricken messiah, eager to bring a plague upon the city.
