Description
Ludlow Fair: Explores love and loneliness through two roommates: Rachel, a dramatic and shallow romantic, and Agnes, a realistic and deeply thoughtful romantic.
Billy Max in Progress: Arvo McMillan’s story about Billy Max from Cape Breton.
Tiln: In Tiln & Other Plays by Michael Cook, the show is described as follows: “Two old men are caught in a personal power struggle. Using a lighthouse setting, playwright Michael Cook explores the modern man’s dilemma in an uncaring world.”
The Lover: A 1981 press release states that The Lover is “a comedy of manners with the Pinteresque touch of absurdity that promises a lunchtime of laughter.”
The Lesson: In this absurdist play, an old teacher and his young pupil meet for a lesson.
