The Gallery

Abstract

Set in a contemporary art gallery in downtown Toronto, this one-act play follows Hannah and Madigan, two childhood friends who reunite after years apart. Tensions escalate when it is revealed that Madigan is passing off Hannah’s sculpture as her own. Madigan, in turn, justifies it as a necessary evil. Accusations fly and old resentments surface as the two women battle over authorship, ownership, integrity and betrayal. Who gets to be recognized as an artist, and who is erased? With the gallery opening imminently and the truth soon to unravel, The Gallery explores the blurred lines between inspiration and theft, the weight of ambition and the consequences of rewriting history.
