Jake's Gift
March
11-13, 2010 TheatreOne presented Jakes Gift; a powerful comedy-drama about
a cantankerous WWII veteran who reluctantly returns to Juno Beach for the 60th
Anniversary D-Day. While there, he meets Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from
the local village, whose inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old veteran
to confront some long ignored ghosts.
Written
and performed by Canadian Playwright Julia Mackey, Jake’s Gift has won
numerous awards including Best Solo Show, Best Drama, and Best Female Performer
at the Victoria Fringe Festival in 2008 and the Best of the Fest at the 2008
Edmonton Fringe Festival.
In
2004, Julia traveled to Normandy, France, for the 69th Anniversary of
D-Day. While there, she interviewed dozens of WW2 veterans from Canada, Britain
and America who had returned for the ceremonies. Their stories and the events
that unfolded on her eight day journey were the inspiration to create Jake’s
Gift.
Julia
Mackay thrilled our audiences with a riveting, emotional, and heart felt
performance that left many patrons in tears. TheatreOne was proud to be able to
share this award-winning work with our local audience.
