BANG BANG - L'IL D

Bang Bang - L'IL D

★ ★ ★ ★ Sandler stirs the pot beautifully...one of the funniest things to hit local stages in ages – Winnipeg Free Press

“Explosive drama with lots of laughs…” —NOW Magazine

Lila is a black police officer who shot a young unarmed black man. She’s been on leave from the police force, moved back in with her mother, Karen, and is drinking beer for breakfast. Tim is a white playwright who used Lila’s incident as a “jumping off point” for his hit play. Now that play is being made into a Hollywood movie — without Lila’s knowledge.

“…so damn funny…” Toronto Star

Desperate to save face and avoid a media backlash, Tim pays a visit to Lila and her mother to pave the way for the movie’s lead, former child star Jackie Savage, who’s keen to get the role right and get his career back on track.

Soon Jackie, his exasperating bodyguard Tony Cappello, and Karen are dragged into the fight, leading to an epic metatheatrical standoff in a living room play about a living room play about gun violence, police, art, and who gets to tell your story?

“Smart and funny…” —CBC ARTS

Filled with tension and comedy, Kat Sandler’s thought-provoking take on race and culture will have us all questioning the meaning behind the phrase “based on a true story.”

A co-production with the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, Winnipeg
