Wingfield Returns to the Blyth Festival
Actor Rod Beattie, a household name in Canadian theatre, will return to the Blyth Centre for the Arts as the critically acclaimed Walt Wingfield for two shows in 2011. Beattie has played to sold-out crowds at the Blyth Festival in the past.
As the first frosts come to Persephone Township, Walt and Maggie Wingfield are all set to welcome new life to The Farm. She's expecting and he's nesting. But Walt is alarmed about the old feuds that divide the neighbours and disturb the tranquility of the community. His attempts to mend other people's fences meet with a resistance as stiff and cold as the weather itself. And the biggest challenge to all of them is looming on the horizon.
Wingfield on Ice, the fifth installment of the enormously popular series will take place on Friday, April 15, at 8:00 p.m. Wingfield's Inferno, the sixth play in the series, will follow on September 16. Wingfield on Ice and Wingfield's Inferno are written by Dan Needles and directed by Douglas Beattie.
