Persephone Productions Presents Pool No Water

What are we willing to sacrifice in the name of art and success? Persephone Productions mark a return to theatre with Pool No Water, a contemporary reframing of the one-act dark comedy written by Mark Ravenhill. The play presents a diverse cast and crew. The young actors include: Lucas DiTecco, Audrey-Shana Ferus, Thomas Vallieres, David Noel, Rosemarie Sabor and Dakota Jamal Wellman. All at once a visceral and intoxicating exploration of youth, ambition, art and envy, Pool No Water will run September 1 – September 15, 2022 at The Segal Centre Studio.

A close-knit group of young artists bound by their passion for creating art have dreams of making it big. When one of them eventually finds success, the others are left to contemplate their own ambitions. What if success is a zero-sum game? What if for someone to succeed, someone else must fail in order to maintain cosmic balance? When a horrific accident ensues, the disturbing underbelly of success is revealed, marked by jealousy and self-righteousness. In this timely, shocking exploration of human behaviour, Pool No Water confronts the dark realities of success in today’s world.
