Can this eccentric family of liars navigate the road to reconciliation? Or will the next 24 hours be the final nail in this dysfunctional family’s coffin?

Hurricane Diane

Written by Madeleine George

Directed by Sarah Kitz

Starring Margo MacDonald

Meet Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch charm. She’s got supernatural abilities owing to her true identity - the Greek god Dionysus - and she’s returned to the modern world to gather mortal followers and restore the Earth to its natural state. Where better to begin than with four housewives in a suburban cul-de-sac? Pulitzer Prize-finalist Madeleine George pens a hilarious take-down of our willful ignorance in the face of climate change and the bacchanalian catharsis that awaits us, even in our own backyards.
