Proud
Shortly after the Conservatives win a majority government in the 2011 federal election, the prime minister discovers a secret weapon in his caucus—Jisbella Lyth, a single mother with a limited understanding of her role as an MP. Using her ignorance to his advantage, the PM hatches a plan to have Jisbella front and centre in a campaign of misdirection and distraction. Humorous and clever, Proud explores the corrosive nature of the politics of division.
“PROUD is a wonderful combination of intelligence and humor.”
– Connie Meng
“Proud is the portrait of a buttoned-up man seen at his most unbuttoned…. Arriving with a reputation as a controversial political exposé of our current Prime Minister, Proud does score some sharp, insightful satirical barbs at Harper’s expense. But Harper-haters be warned: this play humanizes the man.” –Jerry Wasserman, The Province
“…always sharp, and sometimes hilarious.”
– Robert Cushman
“Michael Healey’s Proud is funny and foul-mouthed, yet surprisingly sweet.”
– J. Kelly Nestruck
“Deftly written and often laugh-out-loud funny, Healey’s script keeps surprising us, taking unexpected turns both in its narrative and character development.”
