"The Neighbours" A New Play By Nicolas Billon & Directed by Matt White at Green Light Arts
2026-03-25 19:00, 2026-03-22 16:00, 2026-03-21 19:00, 2026-03-20 19:00, 2026-03-19 19:00 (America/Toronto) | The Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts Warnock MacMillan Theatre, 36 King St W, Kitchener, ON, N2G 1A3, Canada
Simon and Denise reside in a modest house on a quiet street, their life blissfully low-key and unassuming. But when it comes to light that their next-door neighbour has been hiding a sinister secret, it forces the couple to re-examine the past, leading the audience to a surprising conclusion that asks hard questions about the bonds that unite us. From Governor General’s Literary Award winner, Nicolas Billon (Butcher, Iceland), The Neighbours examines how good people can be complicit in acts of cruelty. Green Light Arts’ production of The Neighbours opens first in Toronto at Tarragon Theatre as part of their 25-26 season followed by a run in Kitchener at the Conrad Centre from March 18-29, 2026.
