March Production: 2006/2007
Terrace Little Theatre presents...
The Drawer Boy
Written By Michael Healey
Directed by Marianne Brorup Weston
Starring: Adam Kirkwood, Jerry Stuebing, Alan Weston
It's 1972, and a self-absorbed young Toronto actor, Miles, arrives on a small farm to do hands-on research for an upcoming role in a play about country life. He is sent to live with two middle-aged farmers, Morgan who is not to thrilled with the self-involved young city dweller, and Angus, who is unable to remember that the young actor is even there due to a head injury sustained in London during World War II. Miles unwillingly stumbles upon the truth about their past and as a result, their lives are forever altered when art attempts to imitate life and the line between truth and fiction is crossed. What begins as an amusing portrayal of rural and urban culture-clash, slowly peels away layers of forgotten truths and lies, exposing hidden secrets of love and tragedy. Think farm life is boring? Think again! Think plays about farm life are boring? You be the judge.
Performance Dates:March the 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 17th,
22nd, 23rd and 24th- McColl Playhouse
This will be one of two Skeena Zone Festival entries.
Tickets are $14. Available at Uniglobe Courtesy Travel
