Here is what the page “Tom at the Farm at NYU Skirball: Michel Marc Bouchard’s Thriller Gets a Mud-Soaked Staging” contains. Michel Marc Bouchard’s psychological thriller “Tom at the Farm” is now playing at NYU Skirball in a production that uses mud as a central metaphor. The play follows Tom, a young urban professional who travels to a rural farm after the death of his lover, only to be drawn into a web of secrets, grief, and violence by the dead man’s mother and brother. The staging at NYU Skirball creates a slippery, unstable world where characters struggle to keep their footing—both physically and emotionally.
it underscores the play’s themes of concealment and revelation. As the characters sink into the muck, their polished facades give way to raw truths about sexuality, family, and loss. For New York audiences, this marks a rare chance to see a work by Bouchard, one of Canada’s most celebrated playwrights, in a bold physical interpretation.
