Description

Bloomdays: Selections of the works of James Joyce adapted for the stage by Mary Walsh and Andy Jones.

Overtones: The comedy begins as envy and bitterness emerge when two old friends meet for tea, with their primitive baser selves egging them on.

Lemonade: The play explores the lives of two middle-aged housewives when they escape their mundane existence by selling spiked lemonade on the highway and inventing alternate lives for themselves.

Straight Ahead: A play set on a farm after the Second World War. A young woman contemplates the men in her life: father, husband, lover: an angry, funny, highly compassionate expose.

Canadian Gothic: A bittersweet story of inter-racial love set on the Canadian prairies.

No Exit: Everything you ever wanted to know about Hell, but were afraid to ask: a classical, engaging, and oft-times wickedly funny play.
