Polygraph

A play involving three off-beat characters - a criminologist, an actress and a gay waiter. Previously unacquainted, their paths intersect as they work to unravel the mystery of a murdered woman. This is the first play to be published in English by French-Canadian director Robert Lepage.

"A stream of visually arresting and magical stage pictures that make most conventional theatrical imagery look half dead." (Independent) Summer, Quebec City. Following the brutal murder of a young woman, police suspicion rests on one of her close friends, Francois, a student of political science. Meanwhile, a coroner conducts the gruelling autopsy. Based on an uncanny series of interwoven true stories, Polygraph is a play noir: part metaphysical thriller, part murder mystery and part love story, played out in a riveting series of overlapping and shifting perspectives.
