Knife
A Stagepunk Theatre Production
“I understand why we keep fighting all these wars. For thousands of years trying to kill each other. I get it.”
World Premiere of a new play by Eric Trudell.
In London, Ontario, Tanner and Isaac are door-to-door knife salesmen for an international corporation. In the mornings before their shifts, they drink homemade wine, smoke, and talk about their old friends that were lucky enough to get out of the city. Tanner’s marriage is failing. Isaac is celebrating his one-year anniversary with his long-term girlfriend. But when recent high school graduate Luke joins their team, a new, unlikely friendship begins to bud. What happens when a thirty-something in a dead-end job forms a close bond with his eighteen-year-old coworker? Are they actually similar, or are they both desperate to find someone who shares their same loneliness?
Knife is a dramatic, sharp comedy about work, purpose, and not being able to connect with people your own age.
