The Drawer Boy
by Michael Healey
Winner of the 1999 Governor General’s
Literary Award for English-language drama and an international
hit.
A young actor from the big city lives
with two aging bachelor farmers to gather stories about rural
life. The farmers’ lives are irrevocably altered when
art attempts to imitate life and the line between truth and
fiction is crossed.
“The Drawer Boy is a beautifully written
play. It moves from toughness and hilarity to something devastating
and tender. By taking off from an earlier Passe Muraille Drama,
“The Farm Show”, and seeing that theatrical event
from a new angle, it is one of the few plays to create an
authentic tradition in our culture.” — Michael
Ondaatje, author of The English Patient
