Play Notes

×

Michael Healey's award-winning play, The Drawer Boy premiered at Theatre Passe Muraille in 1999. The play revisits the origins of an alternative Canadian theatre – the collective creation of The Farm Show in 1972 by Theatre Passe Muraille. Set in 1972 on a farm near Clinton, Ontario the play follows three characters: the farm's two owners, Morgan and Angus, and Miles, a young actor from Toronto doing research for a collectively created theatre piece about farming.

A new film adaptation of the play was shot during the late summer of 2016 using many of the original locations in Huron County. As a thank you to the community where the story takes place and film was shot, the film's Director/Producer, Arturo Perez Torres and Associate Director/Producer, Aviva Armour-Ostroff will be on hand to share the process of adapting the play of the screen, before the film debuts on the film festival circuit in 2017.
