ANOTHER SEASON SPROMISE: Anne Chislett and Keith Roulston have brought the struggle of one typical western Ontario farm family to the stage in a production hailed by critics last year as “...one of Blyth’s most powerful plays ever The warm, sometimes funny, sometimes stormy relationship of the Purves family deals with issues from pride in the family’s farm history to concern about the future of farming.
