Workshop West is thrilled to present THIS IS THE STORY OF THE CHILD RULED BY FEAR, created by Strange Victory Performance - a whimsical fable about how to live with the slowly unfolding emergencies of our world.

David Gagnon Walker has written a fantastical play for himself and a gathering of friends and strangers to read together out loud. It’s the story of the rise and fall of an imaginary civilization in an imaginary land. Created by a team of award-winning artists from across Canada, this unique immersive experience invites you to help tell a story about worry and wonder, loneliness, community, and the beauty of the unknown. You can participate according to your own comfort – read for a character, join the chorus, or sit back and watch.
