Paper Plaid Theatre presents
WE FEW THEY MANY
by Kat Edwards
A group of Toronto based activists come together during the G20 of 2010. As the events of the summit unfold, so do the personal lives of those involved. This is a story for those of us battling what it means to be young, to desire a future, a family without the foundation of a career or a plan. What it is to be of a media obsessed and politically apathetic generation. What it is to seek justice and change in the midst of a conservative chaos. Can these five activists make being political “cool” again? Can they change the views of those battling against them during the summit, or will the media win out once again? This story is for those of us that have dreams of a more progressive Canada as we slowly succumb to corporatism and rampant privatization.
