Uncle Joe Again

“The worst thing in life? To be ordinary. The best thing in life? To be immortal.”

1988 was a tough year for many. Edmonton lost Gretzky, the anti-free traders lost the federal election and Max lost his father. In this moving drama which travels through time, from the prosperity of the early ‘60s through the jubilation of the centennial year into the sobering present, Max is forced to face the inevitable: that, like it or not, he has to grow up and get on with life. Performed as a part of the 1991 Repertory Festival.
