Summary:

Winner of the 2017 Toronto Theatre Critics Award for Best New Canadian Play Winner of three Dora Mavor Moore Awards Stage Award for Best Performance, 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe Mouthpiece follows one woman, for one day, as she tries to find her voice. Two performers express the inner conflict that exists within a modern woman's head: the push and pull, the past and the present, the progress and the regression. Interweaving a cappella harmony, dissonance, text, and physicality, Mouthpiece is a harrowing, humorous, and heart-wrenching journey into the female psyche.
