It’s 1972 and Miles, an idealistic, ebullient young actor from Toronto, knocks on the door of an isolated farmhouse somewhere in rural Ontario. He hopes to move in with local farmers, Morgan and Angus, two middle-aged bachelor farmers, for a few weeks, and watch and learn as they go about their daily routines, and then make up a play about them and country life.

Morgan is the no-nonsense "farmer boy" who takes pride in working the land, while Angus is the artistic "drawer boy," with a talent for drawing and design. Morgan has taken care of his friend ever since Angus suffered a massive head injury during World War II. In the remarkable sequence of events that follows, decades of deception are cracked open and forgotten memories begin to surface, forcing Morgan and Angus to confront the hard truth of their extraordinary relationship.

Hailed as one of the top ten plays of 2001 by TIME Magazine and winner of nearly every Canadian theater award possible, The Drawer Boy is a humorous and heartwarming play about the simple pleasures of friendship, storytelling, and remembrance. But more than that, it's a rare and profound meditation on the power of theatre to provoke change, to encourage healing, and to tell the truth.
