Event Description

March 15 – 19
Belfry Mainstage

Why Not Theatre, Toronto

Written by Nicolas Billon
Directed by Ravi Jain (from A Brimful of Asha)

Set against the backdrop of the banking crisis, a confrontation between a real estate agent and a tenant takes an unexpected turn.

“★★★★…Ravi Jain’s direction is tight and focused, while the design is spare and effective…A detailed and cleverly written script, performed and directed with real verve. This is an Iceland with lots of fire.” Toronto Star

“★★★★★…Nicolas Billon’s absorbing play shows how three vastly different people are affected by what one character calls the C-word (capitalism) and the financial crisis. Billon is a masterful storyteller, drawing us into his characters’ lives via richly detailed monologues (plus a bit of dialogue)… full of haunting imagery that echoes throughout the play.” Now Magazine

“ The collapse of Iceland’s three major banks, considered one of the catalysts that precipitated the credit crisis, became the starting point for the play,” explains playwright Billon, “I drafted a series of interconnected monologues that examine the different facets of the financial crisis. My approach in Iceland is to humanize the financial crash…”

“ Iceland is a beautifully structured and extremely powerful play that haunts the mind. Billon is an original and exciting voice.” Atom Egoyan
