CHESTER PLAYHOUSE PRESENTS

Wednesday, August 1 to Saturday, August 4

Chester Playhouse presents…JAKE’S GIFT.  Jake’s gift is a surprisingly funny, multi-award-winning drama, that tells the story of a Canadian WW2 veteran’s reluctant return to Normandy, France, for 60th Anniversary of D-day. While roaming the shores of Juno Beach, Jake encounters Isabelle, a precocious ten-year- old from the local village whose inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts – most notably, the wartime death of his eldest brother, Chester, a once promising young musician. At its heart, Jake’s Gift is about the legacy of remembrance and makes personal the story behind one soldier’s grave. Written & performed by Julia Mackey Produced by: Juno Productions.  Wednesday, August 1 to Saturday, August 4 starting 7:30 pm and a Saturday matinee 2:00 pm.  For more info call the Playhouse 902-275-3933 or visit:  www.chesterplayhouse.ca
