Adapted for the stage by Michael HealeyBased on Rogers v. Rogers: The Battle for Control of Canada’s Telecom Empire by Alexandra Posadzki

Directed by Chris Abraham | Starring Tom Rooney

Step inside one of the most dramatic boardroom showdowns in Canadian history. Telecom tycoon Ted Rogers built an empire turning Canada’s airwaves into cash. Now his son Edward, long dismissed by his father, is fighting for control of the family business. Meanwhile, shrewd public servant Matthew Boswell is determined to derail Rogers’ billion-dollar takeover of Shaw Communications.

From award-winning playwright Micheal Healey (The Master Plan, 1979) and starring Tom Rooney (Stratford and Shaw Festivals) comes a story of outsized ambition and personal grudges, where corporate power meets government dysfunction.

This riveting new drama brings you behind the scenes where the price of pushing back, the unraveling bonds of kin, and the legacy that money can—and cannot—buy, are laid bare, with stunning comedy and spectacle.

A dizzying one-man showcase for Tom Rooney.

A hoot for every long-suffering Rogers customer.
