Post Productions presents the world premiere of the 2020 Windsor-Essex Playwriting Contest award winner, Dead Bear by John Gavey, at The Shadowbox Theatre on November 26, 27; December 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11, 2021.

In this dreamy, romantic, neo-noir detective story (winner of the 2020 Windsor-Essex Playwriting Contest), Det. Miles Mallow spends his last day before retirement obsessing over the one case he could never let go: the murder of his neighbour, Kasara.

Although her husband Corky was convicted of the crime, Miles can’t shake the feeling he didn’t do it. Now, with the answer literally handed to him by his former partner Eastman (Joey Ouellette) and his former romantic rival turned commanding officer Hemmin breathing down his neck, does he have the courage to confront the truth?
