The Mail Order Bride by Robert Clinton - Comedy/Drama
May 12 Courtenay Little Theatre
Sponsored by the Comox Valley Echo
The setting is the Saskatchewan prairie and the play follows the lives of the Teeter family and their neighbours from the arrival of the mail order bride in 1908 until the time of her death in 1954. Rich with humour and the bittersweet realities of a time gone by, this is a vivid, moving and often surprising evocation of the true nature of family and love.
I Never Sang For My Father by Robert Anderson - Drama
May 13 Echo Players - Qualicum
A very dramatic, very psychologically driven play dealing with intense conflict within a family. This is the story of Gene, a widower, with an elderly mother whom he loves and an eighty-year-old father, whom he has never loved, hard as he tried.
Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw - Romantic/Social Comedy
May 14 Nanaimo Theatre Group
ARMS AND THE MAN questions the false notions of war and love in Bulgaria and Russia in 1885. The old saying "All's fair in Love and War" isn't always true or is it? This play is one of Shaw's most frequently performed classic comedies. It crackles with his wit and charm as it illuminates the humour of both heroic and romantic ideals turned upside down.
Someone Who'll Watch Over Me by Frank McGuiness - Drama
May 15 TheatreWorks - Courtenay
Sponsored by Comox Valley Dodge
Three men are being held in a Beruit prison. Even though the men are stripped bare of their clothes, their emotions and their freedom they have the courage to remain human. Featuring: Ross Stephanson, Tony Arnold and Robert Conway
The Dinner Party by Neil Simon - Comedy
May 16 Portal Players - Port Alberni
Sponsored by Coast Realty
Written in 2001, this fusion of farce and drama brings three couples together in an examination of intimate relationships. Playful antics, sudden zaniness and masterful comic dialogue punctuate the unfolding mystery.
