A new play was born right here in Fernwood at the Belfry Theater. Never before seen “on the edge” is a captivating play by critically acclaimed playwright Michele Riml.

“on the edge looks at the lives of three women in today’s complicated world, each very different from the others and each caught in a labyrinth created by society’s expectations and their own personal challenges.

The three women – a fashion addict, cheekily overwhelmed by labels, finances and aging; the police officer who uses her rough and tumble sense of humour to function in a hyper-masculine world; and the housewife learning yoga who is trying to find a balance between her inner life and the demands of her needy family life – each bring deep empathy and great humour to the stage.”
