And Just So Long - A staged reading

In 'And Just So Long', we meet crusty septuagenarian, Elenor Asher, a retired editor and literary critic on the night she receives the call from the home. Her husband Walter, a once vital, world renowned poet lost to Alzheimer's, is taking his last breaths. In the aftermath of Walter's death, Louisa May, their free-spirited daughter returns to the nest, as does Elenor's estranged childhood friend turned Anglican minister, Margot McKinnon. On top of all that it seems Walter, now ashes in his urn, is reaching out from beyond the grave. This is a play about love. All kinds.

As part of the White Rock Arts and Culture Festival, we are presenting two Staged Readings of original, unproduced, new works. This is a platform, not for the theatre, but for the playwright, to support the playwright with a place to have their plays performed, in front of an audience and get validation as an artist, to show our community how vital and relevant theatre is. Audience members will be part of an exciting phase in the evolution of these plays, participating by critiquing and suggesting possible ways to make the plays even better.
