Opening night performance of this classic Canadian comedy.
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.
ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PLAYS IN THE HISTORY OF
CANADIAN THEATRE
“A kind of philosophical Will Rogers touch with a flair for the well told anecdote that is like the best of W.O. Mitchell”
- CKLN Newswave -
“Author and actor come out “Letter “perfect … breathtaking scope and depth … Beattie is astonishing adept”
- The Toronto Star -
“Dan Needles has much the same gift for the gentle comedy as England’s James Herriot of All Creatures Great and Small glory …Beattie spins his yarn with tremendous charm”
