Robert Chafe
Two plays set in Newfoundland by an award-winning playwright in residence there.
Afterimage
Based on the short story by Michael Crummey, Afterimage explores the connections built within both family and community.
Between Breaths
Dr. Jon Lien is a risk-taker and respected researcher, working for over twenty years in the dangerous waters off Newfoundland to rescue massive humpback whales and save the fishing gear in which they're trapped. With his head down in freezing waters and armed only with a snorkel and knife, Lien saves the lives of over five hundred animals and earns the hard-won respect of Newfoundland's fishermen. But his toughest battle comes at the end, as his body is slowly conquered by a relentlessly progressing paralysis and dementia. Between Breaths moves backward in time, from Lien's final moments to his very first whale intervention. As his life becomes further and further confined, his mind stretches back in memories of release and salvation. Based on a true story, Robert Chafe crafts a raw portrayal Newfoundland's "Whale Man" in this beautiful and poignant play about the parts of ourselves we hold on to after everything else has gone.
Under Wraps
From the award-winning author of Afterimage, a lyrical and humorous story about unrequited love and self-acceptance.
Everybody Just C@lm the F#ck Down
In this one-man folly about the aging body and mid-life anxiety, Robert Chafe explores the shifting planes of middle age, grief, creativity, and embracing a lack of control.
