The only thing more powerful than passion is obsession. Start your summer right with the thrilling romantic mystery Mirabella by Joey Ouellette -- winner of The 2022 Windsor-Essex Playwriting Contest!
Detective Michael Byrne is drawn back to Butcher's Town, the neighborhood where he grew up, to investigate a murder at the Mirabella. For decades the Mirabella has been the sole bright light in the heart of Butcher's Town, a ballet theatre that gave the residents opportunities to experience beauty, promises of life beyond the drudgery of slaughterhouses and abusive families... and an outlet for obsession. Byrne's investigation forces him to confront personal demons, reveal the dark secrets buried in the Mirabella's foundation, and cast a light on shadows best left undisturbed. What is the line that separates love from obsession? How do we know whether our love is a gateway to darkness instead of light?
