Falling: A Wake

Coming in March 2007:
The world premiere of
Gary Kirkham's new play,
Falling: A Wake

March 15-24, 2007
8 pm curtain
The Registry Theatre, 122 Frederick Street in downtown Kitchener


So what's the play about?

Harold and Elsie live on a small isolated farm just outside an unnamed Canadian town. A jet explodes 6 miles above, scattering debris over a 200 square mile area. The body of a young man, still strapped in his seat, lands in Harold and Elsie’s yard. Over the course of the play, they make a home around the body, and in doing so the mysterious stranger effects a strange transformation in his hosts.

The story is inspired by, but not closely based on, the events in the aftermath of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.
