Drawer Boy 


Drawer Boy.  By Michael Healey, Directed by Nina Lee Aquinto. Theatre Passe Muraille.  Mar. 2018. Theatre Passe Muraille, Toronto. 


A story about the power of story, about friendship and the conflicts that can happen when we take the risk of letting someone in. A young and rather ignorant actor asks to live in the farmhouse of two grizzled war vets so he can do research for a new collaborate play he is working on with his company. He soon finds a friendship with bonds deeper than brotherhood, as one farmer has dedicated his life to taking care of the other, who experienced severe head trauma during the war and is forgetful at the best of times and unpredictable at the worst of times. As the young actor digs into their story, the story of the Drawer Boy, it becomes clear that not everything is as it seems. This uplifting, well crafted story was beautifully told by excellent acting, great set and a superb use of bologna sandwiches.
