* HE WON'T COME IN FROM THE BARN *
THIS YEAR,
NEXT YEAR
_ _ by Norah Harding July 18 — August 25
Set in Bournemouth, England, in 1944, this is the delightful story of a
mother and her three daughters' survival during the last months of the war.
At the centre is "Mum", a courageous woman with a mysterious past. Ivy is
suffering deeply from the loss of her husband at sea. Sheila is having the
time of her life entertaining the troops. All Norah wants to do is marry her
Canadian soldier. Big band tunes and popular songs of the war underscore
this warm and moving tale of World War II.

HE WON'T
COME IN FROM
THE BARN
by Ted Johns August 29 - September 9
Aylmer Clarke first took refuge in his barn
in 1977 to escape the forces of change and
early retirement. Resisting the pressure of his
son to expand and modernize, the advice of
his doctor to relax, and the temptations of his
wife to visit the Old Country, he holed up with
his cows, chickens and pigs.
After a sold -out run in '94, Barn is back.
Enjoy Aylmer's views on politics, farming and
the foibles of the '90s. An agricultural
comedy for cynical times.
