[5] The play follows a young American ex-pat couple living in the up-and-coming Belleville neighbourhood of Paris.
Abby is an actor-turned-yoga-instructor, while Zack is doing AIDS research with Doctors Without Borders, but their life abroad is filled with conflict.
Belleville examines a marriage fraying at the seams and coming undone with unflinching honesty and truth.
Rounding out the cast as Abby and Zack's Senegalese landlords, Alioune and Amina, are Dalmar Abuzeid and Marsha Regis in their TCT debuts.
[8] Belleville marked Hawko's first return to the theatre since 2009, when he trod the boards in TCT's production of Festen.
