Confession, last year’s new play by award–winning Canadian dramatist Dan McIvor, opens a whirlwind 3-day run at Sackville’s Live Bait Theatre tonight at 8 pm.
“This is the second in our October mini-series of three fresh, exciting, Maritime plays,” explains Live Bait’s Artistic Director, Karen Valanne. “Sheldon Currie’s touching comedy, Lauchie, Liza and Rory, played to enthusiastic playgoers from across the central Maritimes at the beginning of the month and we fully expect that trend to continue.”
Confession has been described as a play about who we were, who we are and what we will become. The action takes place both in the present moment and in the past memories of three characters who, by sharing their secrets, discover how much alike they really are: Kit, the daughter, outspoken, funny and rebellious at 21; Kath, the mother, somewhat sardonic and bitter in her 40’s; and Kitty, the old lady who tries to piece together the puzzle that is her life by finding a way to confess her greatest failing.
