Jake's Gift
Performed by Julia Mackey
Directed by Dirk Van Stralen
Jake's Gift is a powerful and surprisingly funny, multi-award winning drama about a Canadian World War ll veteran who reluctantly returns to Normandy, France, for the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion. The crusty, down-on-his-luck veteran encounters a precocious ten-year-old who challenges the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts.
For her role in Jake's Gift, artist Julia Mackey was named the 2011 BC Touring Artist of the Year and in 2009, she received a nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Lead Role (small theatre category) at Vancouver's Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards. Playing to standing ovations all across Canada since 2007, this one-woman-show is perhaps the most charming, heart-warming, and laugh-out-loud funny performance you will see all year.
