A Trip to the Farm is an interesting and moving play, one with depth and resonance. - Nuwest Review
A musical mystery with the story revolving around Luke Dawe, the legendary prairie Casanova, who disappeared in 1904. Seventy-five years later a film maker, Sarah, goes to Dawe’s old homestead in search of material to make a film and finds a scientist/inventor who claims to be Luke’s wife living there. The collision of time periods, the hostility of the townspeople, a supernatural storm and Sarah’s determination to discover the truth about Luke’s disappearance form the elements of the play. Presented in cooperation with BRANCHING OUT (Canadian women’s magazine).
