When a group of long-time friends gathers for an intimate 25th anniversary dinner celebration as a forest fire rages out of control in the nearby mountains of southeastern BC. When an unexpected gift transforms a discussion about the local wolf cull into a heated argument over economic inequality, conflicting values within the group arise, threatening to derail the celebration and test the true nature of their friendships. The Cull contrasts the dynamics of human self-interest with the instinctive communal behaviour of wolves…turning this particular dinner party into a night of “eat or be eaten.”

The Cull was originally commissioned by The Arts Club Theatre Company in Vancouver, BC (Silver Commissions Program) and premiered there as a two-act play in 2023. A new one-act version of The Cull was first read at the New Stages Reading Series (Peterborough, ON), and is now in further development with The Vault /The Coal Mine Theatre (Toronto, ON).
