“A play about learning to hate your neighbours instead of yourself!”
Person of Interest is the mostly true story of an actor driven to the brink. After applying for a police background check to volunteer at her son’s school, Johnson discovers she has a criminal record, thanks to the Neighbours From Hell. It’s a story of how tensions between neighbours can escalate, and the unpredictably manic way that Johnson chooses to arm herself and wage a war that is so uniquely compelling, comical and, against the law.
“Endearingly Puck-like, full of energy, mischief and irreverence for the mundane, but genuinely wanting to get along, Melody weaves this sometimes shocking tale of neighbourhood warfare with candour and an edgy sense of fun.” – Cathy McKim, Life With More Cowbell.
“The performance is seamless. Johnson powers through with not an ounce of apprehension. It’s very cool to watch…a fun, quirky and clever night of theatre…” – Jennifer Enchin, Mooney on Theatre
“Melody A. Johnson proves once again, she is the kook supreme of the Canadian stage…I truly would pay money to see Johnson read the phone book…” -Richard Ouzonian, The Toronto Star
