Letter from Wingfield Farm  |
| Date | Friday July 30, 2010 |
| Time | 8 pm - 10 pm | | Duration | 2 Hours | | Type | Theatre | | Description | When a captain of industry trades his pin-stripe suit for overalls and retreats to a hundred acre farm, the residents of Persephone Township raise their eyebrows. Weekend Farmers are a common enough sight, but this man seems to think he can make a living with a broken down racehorse and a single furrow plough.
Letter from Wingfield Farm is the story of one man’s attempt to embrace a less complicated world. In a series of letters to the editor of the Larkspur weekly newspaper, Walt Wingfield talks about the people and events of his first year as a man of the soil.
Rod Beattie stars as Walt and everyone else in Dan Needles’ classic one-man comedy, Letter from Wingfield Farm.
