The Master Plan

by Michael Healey

based on the book Sideways: The City That Google Couldn’t Buy by Josh O’Kane

directed by Jennifer Brewin

Who thought this was a good idea? 

This is urban planning like you’ve never seen it: bold, biting, bungling, and a little too real. The Master Plan takes us into the corporate fever dream that was Sidewalk Labs—a “smart city” project backed by Google that crashed harder than your Wi-Fi during a Zoom call. Based on Josh O’Kane’s bestseller Sideways: The City Google Couldn’t Buy, this award-winning tour de force by Michael Healey will be reimagined in the round at Globe Theatre for the first time since its critically acclaimed, multi-year sellout, original production in Toronto.  

The Master Plan turns the tangled tale of Sidewalk Labs and Waterfront Toronto into a hilarious (and all-too-true) cautionary tale. This “astounding piece of theatre” (Intermission Magazine) takes you into the middle of corporate ambition, civic red-tape, and the very Canadian drama of how we design the future.
