Canadian play about
WWII Veteran
fallen Advance
For the second year in a row, the Blyth Festival is proud
to present Jake's Gift by Julia Mackey - a multi srward•wln-
ntng Canadian play about a World War II veteran's jour-
ney back to Juno Beach for the 60th anniversary of
D -Day.
Audiences last year were so moved by the production
that the Blyth Festival felt compelled to bring Jake's Gift
back for those that missed it last year as well as those that
wish to see it again. "I brought three teenagers to see
Jake's Gift and the performance crossed the generations
extremely wen; said audience member Jane Antoniak of
London, Ontario, "All of us truly felt the Impact of the
message"
During the play, cantankerous Jake meets Isabelle, a
precocious 10 -year old from the local village, whose
inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old veteran to
confront some long ignored ghosts,
Jake's Gift was created after writer and performer Julia
Mackey travelled to Normandy, France in June 2004 for
the 60th Anniversary Ceremonies of D -Day. She spent
eight days touring the Normandy coast, attending many
of the ceremonies and interviewing Canadian, British and
American veterans, as well as the local French people.
Jake's Gift will take place on Thursday, September 8 at
8:00 p.m. at Blyth Memorial Hall. Tickets are $30, available
at www.blythfestival.com or by calling 1-877-862-5984.
Prior to the performance there will be a country supper
for $15 to the Lower Hall at 6:00 p.m,
