VYC has changed its Dooryard Production to "Never Swim Alone" by Nova Scotia playwright Daniel McIvor. If you've purchased an "Our Town" ticket, those will be honoured at the door and any difference in price refunded to you. Full refunds will also be available should you choose not to attend "Never Swim Alone," but we encourage you to check out this great Maritime show.
Some info from Lee Kinney, Artistic Director of VYC:
Never Swim Alone by Nova Scotian playwright Daniel MacIvor. The play is a very contemporary piece with three actors - 2 men, 1 woman - with very minimal set, costume and lighting requirements. The piece is very engaging and exciting, and will introduce new staging and production styles for our company.
Russ Hunt, a STU professor, wrote a review of the a Hampton High production in 2003 that can be found here: http://www.stthomasu.ca/~hunt/reviews/swim.htm and is worth taking a look through for an idea of the play.
If you're not familiar with MacIvor, he is also well worth taking a look at. He is one of the most successful and prolific Canadian playwrights, specializing in meta-theatrical plays, and profound and hilarious one-man shows. He is originally from Sydney, NS, and has been working across Canada since the early 80s, continuing to write today (his latest play "His Greatness" about Tenessee Williams was published in 2008).
