Running Time:

Whale Fall is a one act drama about the extinction of Canada’s southern resident orca population and the journey of one woman to find the last remaining whale while struggling to hold on to the memories of her father. Part coming of age story and part fable for the era of climate change, Whale Fall is an intimate duet between two characters as they navigate the painful waters of family, memory and species extinction.
