CBC Radio : Metro Morning : The Corner  

The Corner Written and directed by Jason Maghanoy

The Corner is a highly theatrical, violent, and ultimately touching story about friendship, and all of the different ways we can respond when we lose a friend to violence. Set in Toronto, The Corner follows friends Jon and Gabe from the classroom, to the club, to the arcade, as they cause trouble, meet girls and come of age together. When Gabe is shot by the police after an altercation between his friends and a group of white teenagers, it sets off a cycle of violence thatdevastates lives, and changes friendships forever. Written and Directed by National Theatre School of Canada graduate Jason Maghanoy, The Corner features some of the most exciting young talent of diversity in the city of Toronto, including Darrel Gamotin, Byron Abalos, Andrea Mapili, Edward De Juan and Brandon Coffey.
