the story
Addicted follows Penelope Day, an alcoholic at the end of her rope who finds herself at the mercy of Saving Grace, an unconventional rehab facility and its motley crew of residents. While in treatment, Penelope comes face to face with her demons, leaving her at times to question what is real and what is not, eventually forcing Penelope to come clean in order to save her life. Written, performed and created by Dora Award winning actor Raven Dauda, Addicted is a tour-de-force multidisciplinary monodrama that will unapologetically get you hooked.
the cast of characters
“Addicted is a confessional and spiritual exploration of intergenerational substance abuse stemming from colonial trauma that straddles the line between realism and surrealism. The use of mime, physical comedy, wry humour,
storytelling and puppetry created a united whole that cuts a little too close to the bone emotionally.”
Keira Grant - Mooney On Theatre
"All in all this was a seamless and stunning presentation. Raven Dauda is a force to be reckoned with and in my opinion, one of the most dynamic and compelling performers you will see in Toronto right now. I laughed, I cried, I reflected. See it and tell your friends to see it."
