A POWERFUL STORY OF THE MONTREAL MASSACRE'S HUMAN AFTERMATH

He faced a mad-man with a gun and was spared because he wasn't female. Surviving the survivor guilt is another question. The December Man is Colleen Murphy's devastating study of the after-effects of the massacre at L’ecole Polytechnique on one small working class family.  This horrific event, embedded in the consciousness of all Canadians, is the backdrop for an exploration of the multiplying ripples of a single violet incident with  compassion and striving for understanding.  Winner of the 2007 Governor General Award for Drama.

"By confining the story to a single family, the show presents a simple, yet profoundly honest and searching meditation on violence, guilt and the powerful ties that bond families together."
