Out of the Woods

by Amy Rutherford, Justin Rutledge & Andrew Shaver

Out of the Woods is a comedic songplay about lost love, nostalgia and regret.

A young couple escape into the wilderness determined to figure out once and for all whether they should stay together or call it quits. What happens when the love is gone, but the music’s still there?

At the advice of their therapist, an urban couple escapes into the wilderness in order to figure out whether they should rescue their relationship or dissolve it. In spite of their best intentions, they soon realize that the distractions of city life are nothing compared to the detritus of issues in their relationship.

This project is part of Why Not’s SHARE stream of activities. SHARE projects are partnerships with other independent artists and companies to help produce, present or tour their work.

“does what any good production of a classic does: reminds us why it’s a classic in the first place.”

Toronto Star

"Ravi Jain's direction is what elevates this production into one of Factory's best. It's full of joy and love; tension and loss. It's a perfect poem that you never want to end."

Broadway World

"Director Ravi Jain’s extraordinary production of Salt-Water Moon, David French’s classic love story, is elementary in the best sense... I can’t imagine a Salt-Water Moon that better captures that very human blend of affection and tension."

NOW Magazine (5/5 N's)

“an irresistible reimagining of a Canadian classic”

The Globe & Mail
