The Drawer Boy

Michael Healey’s extraordinarily popular play is based on the true story of the creation of Theatre Passe Muraille’s Farm Show, which was developed by a group of actors who went to live in Clinton, Ontario in 1972. Funny and moving in equal share, The Drawer Boy begins with the clash of urban and rural, youth and middle age, the life of the artist versus the life of the farmer. It ends on a profoundly hopeful note of transformation through the power of storytelling.
