How a country losing its independence affects a family is explored during Yellow Point Drama Group’s upcoming play.
The community theatre company presents 1949, by award-winning Canadian playwright David French, at Cedar community hall Oct. 6-22.
The Mercer family is divided by the prospect of Newfoundland joining Confederation, while struggling through their own personal issues with humour, poignancy and passion.
1949 is part of a cycle of plays which follow the Mercer family from Newfoundland and their subsequent move to Toronto.
The play runs Oct. 6-8, 14-15 and 21-22 at 8 p.m. Tickets $15; $10/youth. Dinner theatre set for Oct. 15, with doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets $30.
