Telecom tycoon Ted Rogers built an empire turning Canada’s airwaves into cash. Now his son Edward, long dismissed by his father, is fighting for control of the family business. Meanwhile, shrewd public servant Matthew Boswell is determined to derail Rogers’ billion-dollar takeover of Shaw Communications.

From award-winning playwright Micheal Healey (The Master Plan, The Drawer Boy) and starring Tom Rooney (Fifteen Dogs, Uncle Vanya) comes a story of outsized ambition, personal grudges, and corporate power.

Inspired by one of the most dramatic boardroom showdowns in Canadian history, this riveting new drama examines the price of pushing back, the unraveling bonds of kin, and the legacy that money can—and cannot—buy.


Michael Healey is one of the country’s funniest and most politically minded playwrights.
