This riveting story by Governor General Award-winning playwright Robert Chafe, tells the incredible, yet true, tale of Marguerite de la Roque who was abandoned on a remote island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1542.
Young and impetuous, Marguerite must accompany her guardian, the Sieur de Roberval, on his new appointment as the first Lieutenant General of New France. But when Roberval discovers Marguerite’s passionate affair with a young officer, fury takes over. He abandons them both, along with Marguerite’s hapless nurse, on a remote island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, ominously known as the Isle of Demons. Stranded in a land of relentless hardships, unseen dangers, and seemingly supernatural threats, the trio must fight for their survival.
Part tragedy, part thriller, this gripping play makes its Toronto premiere at Guild Festival Theatre.
Guild Festival Theatre’s 2024 Season is presented by ARC Insurance & Financial Services Inc. and supported by TD Bank Group.
