Half Life
by John Mighton
Directed by Anthony Black
October 20 - November 7, 2009
Hamilton author John Mighton’s Half Life is a Dora, Chalmer’s and Governor General’s Literary Award winning production that toured across Canada, America, and Britain. Now we present it on the Theatre Aquarius stage! Poignant, funny, and provocative, the story, a sort of “Romeo and Juliet for seniors”, deals with two elderly people who meet in a care centre, and fall in love.
Reviewers around the world rave about this masterpiece, calling it, “Sweet and funny… theatre for adults—of any age.”
This is a wonderful tribute to love, joy and the human spirit.
