Forests

By Wajdi Mouawad

The theatrical journey into the deep, dark and delirious woods of Wajdi Mouawad's Forests begins with a real mind-boggler: How did a missing skull fragment from a woman murdered in a Nazi concentration camp end up embedded in the brain of a recently deceased Québécoise? Over the course of the play, the daughter of deceased Aimée Lambert, 16-year-old Loup, searches for an answer to this question with the help of her trusty paleontologist guide, Douglas Dupontel.
