Declarations - by Jordan Tannahill (Paperback)

About the Book

A deeply personal new play by Jordan Tannahill about mortality and the fragments that make up a life.

Book Synopsis

This is a pressed bruise. This is Greta Garbo's smile. This is the smell of Windex. Declarations is an imperfect chronicle of a life lived; a body pulled through time, encountering meteorological phenomenon, mythology, political calamity, pop culture, and everyday happenstance along the way. Written in the wake of his mother's terminal cancer diagnosis, Tannahill's Declarations is a staggering archive of sensations, memories, and voices asserting that here lived, for a time, a woman.

Jordan Tannahill is an Ottawa-born, London UK-based playwright and filmmaker. His work has been presented at major theaters and festivals across Canada and internationally.
