OnStage Uxbridge presents: Salt-Water Moon.
It’s a moonlit evening in a Newfoundland fishing village in 1926. Jacob
Mercer has just returned home, desperate to win back the heart of his
former flame, Mary Snow. Mary, still reeling from the heartbreak Jacob
caused when he left, has become engaged to wealthy Jerome McKenzie. But
this unexpected visit from Jacob could place her entire future in peril.
This heartfelt exploration of young love is a Canadian classic. First
staged by Tarragon Theatre, Toronto, in 1984, it has been produced
numerous times in North America and the world since its premiere. It won
the Canadian Authors Association Literary Award for Drama, the Dora
Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play, the Hollywood Drama-Logue
Critics’ Award, and was a finalist for the Governor-General’s Award for
Drama.
David French is one of Canada’s most critically-acclaimed and
widely-produced playwrights. He was born in Coley's Point, the setting
of the play, in 1939. Although French moved from Newfoundland to Toronto
with his family as a child, his fascination with his birthplace was
present in many of his plays. In Salt-Water Moon, two young people
question the restrictions society places on them, as they ponder their
future. Yes, it is a love story, but Salt-Water Moon is also about
breaking the binds of traditional expectations in the pursuit of
happiness.
