A lyrical and beautiful portrait of rural life in 1900s Newfoundland and Labrador, of growing up and growing old, of hopes and dreams, and a fantastic opportunity to see an international company perform locally in the intimate setting of the SpArC Theatre.

Nostalgic and tender stories of pioneering lives paint a vivid picture of the highs and the lows of island life. Tales of tough hardships and strong communities, of childhoods dominated by the weather and the landscape and of communities adjusting in the face of ‘progress’, this funny and moving production will strike a chord with anyone who has ever been fortunate enough to live “in the sticks”.

With poems, prose, and harmony song, Theatre Newfoundland weave theatrical magic to show island life, threatened by technology, but remaining as true to its spirit as the salt in the breeze.

“This is the kind of play that easily helps you enter another world.. You come to know its beauty, strengths, quirks and follies and love the land and its people because of them” Stage Door ★★★★★
