Synopsis

Barclay thrusts an audience inside the disordered mind of Victor Hoffman several decades after the Peterson murders (Canada's first mass murder). Hoffman, now an inmate in a maximum security institute for the criminally insane, is confined to a dark and dingy room reminiscent of an underground prison vault. The play's "fifth wall" is a surreal wormhole accommodating projections, entrances and exits. By reliving his crime's prelude and the subsequent trial, Older Victor engages a resisting young Victor in a daily search for "the right question" that was never asked, and spurs him to a diurnal battle with his demons.'
