A Timely Tale by Anne Chislett CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
Directed by Simon Challenger

When Jack Cooper, a farmer of more than 40 years, suddenly decides to retire and move to Florida, his wife Maureen is shocked and broken hearted. There had been no discussion, no consultation…no consideration as to how she might feel. She has spent the last 4 decades lovingly caring for their home in Ontario, maintaining and decorating it from top to bottom, and working the farm, and then raising their son. She doesn’t want to leave, and she certainly doesn’t want to live in Miami! She feels helpless, and lost…but what can she do? A wife’s place is with her husband…isn’t it?
But after her daughter in law Alice, and Alice’s sister Lisa, show her how much she has contributed to the property and her home over the years, they convince her that she has been a valuable asset to the place, and make her see that she does have legal rights of her own. When Maureen agrees to stay and fight for the home she loves, what follows is a humorous but eye opening journey for both she and Jack.
Written with wit, honesty and humour, The Tomorrow Box is a timeless tale, and a feel good story that audiences are sure to love.
