Women in our community are having to confront these realities every day.

“How can this be happening in this day and age?” you might ask. “Why isn’t this tragedy more widely known by us all?”  “How can our resource-rich state allow this to happen?” “It’s Dickensian”. Unbelievable as it seems, it is occurring on our doorstep.

So, what can be done?

Lunenburg

by Norm Foster

directed by Jarrod Buttery

Harbour Theatre

March 2023

 

When Iris Oulette inherits a house that she didn't  even know existed, she and her close friend Natalie Whitaker travel to the town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, to have a look at her new property. What follows is a series of world-changing surprises, heart-warming personal transformations, and a fall down funny romantic adventure.

The play is set over a summer weekend in beautiful Nova Scotia in Harbour Theatre's latest production of Norm Foster’s Lunenburg, directed by Jarrod Buttery. Written by Canada's most produced playwright, Norm Foster, Lunenburg is a story about grief, secrets, acceptance, and a ton of flirtation played out by an accomplished trio of Harbour Theatre’s favourite actors.

As we've come to expect from Norm Foster, this play is another well written, intelligent, funny and heart-warming comedy.  Like many of his shows, Lunenburg continues the Foster tradition of taking stories that are recognizable as our own, but turning them on their head to expose a different angle of the familiar.

All proceeds to community projects supported by the Rotary Club of Northbridge.
