The How And The Why

 If you want to head out to Coquitlam, here's an excuse to make your way there! Aenigma Theatre is putting on their 2019 Jessie-nominated show The How And The Why: 



Evolution, Feminism and Destiny collide in Sarah Treem’s (House of Cards,The Affair) poignant play about science, family, and the difficult choices that women face.  Why do women menstruate? Modern science has supplied us with the “How”, but no one seems to have answered the “Why”. Rachel, a young grad student in Evolutionary Biology visits Zelda, a pioneer of the field.  She posits a radical new hypothesis to answer this very question, which just happens to challenge Zelda’s own ground-breaking work. As the two brilliant women spar over their contrary views on science, career and generational divides, the ulterior motives surrounding their intense meeting slowly begin to unravel… 


The How And The Why runs from April 11-15 at the Evergreen Cultural Centre.
