TORONTO THEATRICAL PREMIERE WITH CAST AND CREW IN ATTENDANCE!



Peter has been trying to get back to his creative roots as an architect. His successful partnership with his college friend Bruce has left him feeling as though he can no longer find the art in his creative practice. But downsizing to his own firm proves more difficult than expected and when he realizes he has to sell his house in order to survive, his girlfriend leaves him. With nothing left to hold him in the city, he decides to move out to his cousin’s farm and spend the winter in Saskatchewan. At first his plan is to build a cabin and winter like his mentor Henry Thoreau, but the weather soon overwhelms him. Cousin George takes pity on him and lets him stay in the old farmhouse where their fathers both grew up in the 1950’s. The place is largely unchanged since then, with no running water, and the only heat provided by a wood stove that require an endless supply of firewood. Peter soon discovers that pioneer life is a little more than he bargained for. And the silence and loneliness play tricks on his imagination. He is joined by Henry himself, whose conversation keeps him thinking about his purpose in this world, by the occasional visit from his cousin George, and by a series of characters real and imagined who tell him the story of what it was once like to live in this place full time. When his daughter Molly shows up to bring him back to civilization, she immediately notices the changes in Peter. He has become a man who has only now begun to live happily in the present for the first time in his life.
