Persephone Theatre’s 50th season has kicked off with a comedy about feuding neighbours.
Artistic Director Heather Cant describes Native Gardens as a play about a dispute over the location of a fence line.
There is an older couple who have a more traditional garden and a new, younger couple who have moved in next door who prefer native plants that are good for the environment.
She says, “We have a hilarious cast of actors, and knowing how passionate people on the prairies can be about their plants, I know our audiences will have a fun night out with this show – and maybe even a better relationship with their neighbours when they go home!”
She adds the play is a comedy, but also touches on issues like immigration and cultural heritage.
Native Gardens runs through October 6th.
Cant says there is a great selection of plays this season including family classics, two new plays, and the Broadway hit musical Million Dollar Quartet featuring the music of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley.
