It's December 6, 1917, and the largest man-made explosion in the pre-Hiroshima world has just exploded in Nova Scotia, Canada. Wreaking unimaginable devastation, this cataclysmic event soon leads to a witch-hunt for someone to blame. At the center of it all stands Anna Maclean, a teenager whose first romance is threatened when her family considers her an enemy within their fold. Shocking and surprisingly relevant to our post-9/11 world, this critically-acclaimed Canadian play, now in its U.S. premiere, is an eerie examination of the cycles of fear, and show how a world, a town and a romance can all shatter in an instant.
