Scarberia Pre-Show Workshop

The fate of two sets of boys — one in Scarborough, Ontario and one in Scarborough, England — are linked by one body found washed up on a beach. This riveting mystery was commissioned by YPT, workshopped at the Banff Centre Playwrights Colony, and comes from the pen of award-winning expat Canadian, Evan Placey.

Scarberia follows the stories of these four boys: one pair knows the drowned girl and must manage the fallout of her disappearance while the other pair searches for the cause of death of a stranger. As each teen tries to navigate out of his increasingly troubled situation, he finds his city and its poor reputation  refuses to release its grip on his future prospects. Each must make a decision to change his world or be imprisoned by it.
