The Measure of Love / Ruth Draper on Tour

Studio Theatre--Stratford, Toronto

About the Show

For her 68th birthday, Joan receives an unusual gift from her friend Mabel: the manuscript of a play. Together, the two women re-enact their friendship from its beginning in high school to the event that led to a 20-year estrangement. But does Mabel’s script tell the whole story, or do some secrets remain? The Measure of Love is a new play by Nicolas Billon, author of last year’s popular The Elephant Song.

This show is double-billed with Ruth Draper on Tour. Whether in London, Paris, New York or Rome, American monologue artist Ruth Draper delighted audiences with her vivid and often hilarious characterizations. Offering a fascinating glimpse of the woman behind the art, this one-person show promises to be a true “tour” de force.
