Geometry In Venice

Written by Montreal playwright Michael Mackenzie Geometry in Venice is inspired by Henry James’s novella The Pupil. It tells the story of an aristocratic British family living in Venice towards the end of the nineteenth century. Desperate to keep up appearances they travel to the fashionable salons of Europe, search for a wealthy suitor to marry their daughter and hire an aspiring Canadian writer to educate their sickly genius son. Geometry in Venice is a poignant and timely examination of a family’s obsession with  wealth and status.
