Synopsis

​The play is set in the 1940s and is about Harry and Lilly’s wedding day.  But there is a problem, if Lilly’s widowed Father has his way, the wedding will not take place.  He is a self-centred man and relies on Lilly to do all his chores as well as work in his shop.  When he’s unable to talk her out of the marriage, he resorts to lies to discredit the groom, which Lilly doesn’t believe, so he schemes to prevent Harry from showing up at the Church.

Development History

​Specifically written for and workshopped by the Eastern Shore Players as ‘walkabout’ theatre for Memory Lane Heritage Centre, but the play would also be suitable for a stage performance.

Production History

​Performance dates are 9th, 10th and 11th July 2015 at Memory Lane Heritage Centre, Lake Charlotte, Eastern Shore, NS
