A mix of modern gothic and classic horror, The Bluffs follows Eleanor as she makes a final visit to her creaky bluff-side cottage, six months after her wife’s tragic death in the lake below. When a storm traps Eleanor, her squatter brother-in-law, and a mysterious neighbour inside the home, the three of them must contend with their complicated relationships to each other and the deceased, and work together to defeat the dark presence dwelling in the cottage walls.

More about the show and company
Midtwenties Theatre seeks to produce plays by midtwenties artists today who find themselves marginalised between classifications, and emerging-established identities. Whether that be through race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, or politics - Midtwenties aims to provide a space for these complex voices that do not fit in anywhere to speak truthfully, proudly, and without compromise through diverse forms of artistic expression that push the boundaries of what is otherwise familiar to the mainstream.
Land acknowledgement
Midtwenties Theatre acknowledge and are thankful for the original caretakers and knowledge keepers of the traditional territory where we work: the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. We acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue the traditions of storytelling and artistry alongside these nations and the many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples who reside here.
