With Bated Breath

The tale of Willy, a troubled but charismatic gay kid who flees Cape Breton Island for Montreal with hopes of forgetting a newly broken heart. He finds momentary comfort with the denizens of the city's red light district, but soon goes missing without a trace. His presence lingers, however. As rumours fly, secrets explode, and reality blurs with fantasy, Willy is both remembered and reinvented. MacDonald's play is never maudlin, and often funny.

"Sometimes shocking, often foul-mouthed and usually hilarious, Bryden MacDonald's poetic characters are a dynamic combination of salty and sweet, of soft and hard, of light and dark." - Roy Surette, A.D., Centaur Theatre, Montreal
