Preliminary promotional poster for Gory Details.

Hello and welcome everyone to a play that explores death, loss, legacy, and obsession. Years after he was convicted, the legacy of a merciless serial killer looms over a small Ontario town. When shockingly familiar murders begin popping up years later, everyone affected by the old case struggles to keep their composure. A guilt-ridden cop, an overworked forensics technician, a teenage vigilante, a desperate documentary writer, and two crime scene cleaners try to navigate their way through this desperate situation. Join our cursed chorus as they regale you with all the Gory Details.
