Half Life
by John Mighton
Two nursing home residents, both in their 80s,
meet and fall in love, rekindling what might
have been a wartime romance. Had they
previously met somewhere else under different
circumstances? Why is their love so troubling
for their children? Indeed, the light at dusk
is sometimes warmer and more enveloping than
that of the midday sun. Characters navigate between
being and appearance, between cowardice and dissoluteness.
The award-winning author of Possible
Worlds brings
us this poetic and moving meditation on identity,
aging and the nature of memory.
What shines through when memory fades away?
An unforgettable experience that is a gain,
in every sense of the word, for the Canadian
dramatic canon. The Globe and Mail
