• An acclaimed saga of familial love and loss, NO GREAT MISCHIEF is a bittersweet reflection on the ties that bind. Haunted by the stories and songs of their Scottish ancestry, two brothers seek to understand and reconcile their past. Through live music, evocative movement and riveting acting, this piece uses eight actors to take us from a seedy rooming house in Toronto, to Cape Breton’s stormy shores, to the deep mines of Elliot Lake.

  NO GREAT MISCHIEF premiered at Tarragon Theatre in 2004 and subsequently was presented in Ottawa, Vancouver and Halifax.

  “A beautifully literate work…directed with a wonderful sense of dramatic choreography… crisp and evocative.”
  – Ottawa Citizen

  “Lovely, heartbreaking, funny and shocking.”
  – The Ottawa Sun

  “Sometimes magic happens in a theatre when all the forces align in a near perfect configuration. Such is the Tarragon’s production of NO GREAT MISCHIEF.”
  – Classical 96.3FM, Toronto

  “Exquisite and transporting.”
  - Halifax Chronicle Herald
