What The Thunder Said

As a culture what have we learned from WWI?

What echoes and parallels persist a century later?

On the centenary of the First World War, the award-winning hometown One Yellow Rabbit Ensemble teams up with esteemed Canadian theatre artist, Peter Hinton – for the world premiere of What The Thunder Said.

This performance triptych examines the turbulent first quarter of the twentieth century. Using T.S.
