Winner of the 2000 Alberta Playwrighting Competition, Mary’s Wedding is a beautiful and sweeping tale set during World War I. From the shelter of a damp barn in a thunderstorm, to the mud-filled trenches of France, Mary’s Wedding takes us on a theatrical roller-coaster ride. Boy meets girl. Love ensues. The “Great War” beckons. Only letters, memories, and dreams keep their love alive.

Mary's Wedding is the story of a young couple, Charlie and Mary, who meet and fall in love on the brink of WWI. The power of their commitment to each other enables them to overcome time, distance and conflict, remaining forever in one another's heart. It will hauntingly touch anyone who has ever experienced the pangs of first love.

Stephen Massicotte's award-winning play is an imaginative and sensitive presentation of a young man and woman falling in love and being torn apart by the exigencies of the time in which they live. In addition to the captivating tale of Charlie and Mary's romance, the drama highlights experiences from Canadian military history and honours the sacrifices made by Canadians during WWI. The play has been described as "part love story, part history lesson, and part moving memorial to the human cost of war."
