Lowest Common Denominator
by Vancouver playwright Dave Deveau

In Lowest Common Denominator, by Vancouver playwright Dave Deveau, Harmony is trying to get back on her feet post-divorce, and ends up on a blissful, booze-filled date with Peter, an insurance salesman. But when she walks in on her seventeen year old son Trevor kissing him it unleashes something powerful and sacred in her. Their three lives are set in motion – perpetually intertwined. Lowest Common Denominator explores the often-controversial world of intergenerational relationships and unleashes the darkness that exists just underneath a thin skin.

Featuring  Janet Hodgkinson, Kris Fleerackers and Gabe Ryan.
