Scorpio Theatre’s “Grandad was a Solider“ – Audition
Notice
By retracing Granddad’s steps through WWII, a young man
hopes to find some of the connection with his Grandfather that he was unable to
forge during his life… and if he can keep his brother from getting arrested
while he’s at it, all the better!
Award winning playwright Dan Gibbins brings us his newest
script, a beautiful and darkly funny exploration of the history that binds all
Canadians together and the deeply personal connection we have to those brave
souls who fought in that war, and the sacrifices of the people they left
behind.
