With Bated Breath
By Bryden MacDonald
Directed By Bryden MacDonald & Roy Surette
Starring : Danette MacKay, Felicia Shulman, Sarah Carlsen, Neil Napier, Éloi Archambaudoin, Michael Sutherland-Young
From the author of Divinity Bash / Nine Lives, The Weekend Healer and Whale Riding Weather, With Bated Breath is the provocative tale of Willy, a troubled but charismatic gay kid who flees Cape Breton Island for Montreal with hopes of forgetting a newly broken heart. He finds momentary comfort with the denizens of the city’s red light district, but soon goes missing without a trace. Willy, in one way or another, has had a profound effect on the lives of the other characters. His presence lingers. As rumors fly, secrets explode, and reality blurs with fantasy, Willy is both remembered and reinvented. Imbued with equal measures of wit and warmth, MacDonald proves to be a master at merging the pedestrian with the highly theatrical.
