By Michael Healey (Adaptation)
Based on Rogers v. Rogers: The Battle for Control of Canada’s Telecom Empire by Alexandra Posadzki

Directed by Chris Abraham

Starring Tom Rooney

Telecom tycoon Ted Rogers built an empire turning Canada’s airwaves into cash. Now his son is fighting for control of the family business while a shrewd public servant tries to derail Rogers’ billion-dollar takeover of Shaw Communications.

From award-winning playwright Michael Healey (1979, Proud), Rogers v. Rogers is a riveting drama about corporate ambition, power, and personal grudges, the price of pushing back and the legacy that money can—and cannot—buy.

WHY WE CHOSE THIS PLAY

Michael Healey—one of Canada’s brightest and sharpest playwrights—and Tom Rooney—one of our most exceptional actors—bring this internecine corporate battle to stunning theatrical life. We loved the political maneuvering in 1979—but how much dirtier—and how much higher the stakes are—in the world of business. This play shows us how real life can be much more unbelievable—and entertaining—than any piece of fiction—! —MS & NSW
