A new play from Governor General’s Literary Award winner for Drama
“Whatcha doin’, Marshall McLuhan?” That’s what the world wanted to know back in the 1960s, when an obscure professor of English from the University of Toronto started to sound the alarm on the effects of technology on the human body, brain and spirit. The Message is a wild, time-traveling ride through McLuhan’s mind and teachings, bringing back to life a prophet whose observations about media, technology and faith have never been more relevant.
