Description
A searing and poetic look at ourselves, our society, and our mythology. Sled begins and ends in the Canadian North, a world of unforgiving isolation and mystical change. The other landscape is a Toronto neighbourhood which proves to be equally harsh and mythical under its quiet surface.

Editorial Reviews
“…a wild and intriguing story that ties together seemingly disparate characters into a hard-hitting, hard-talking, hard-action show. It’s tough, traumatic, intriguing theatre.”
—The Hamilton Spectator
