Marion Bridge Press Release


Daniel MacIvor’s Marion Bridge set to captivate audiences at the Old Town Hall in Winchester

There is nothing quite like the relationship between sisters. Add a parent’s passing and pointed East Coast humour, and watch the fireworks. In Daniel MacIvor’s play, Marion Bridge, three estranged and profoundly different sisters come home to Cape Breton to deal with their mom’s terminal diagnosis.

MacIvor’s work has gained great accolades for its complex writing and refreshing focus on unique and unmatched female characters.

This acclaimed drama features Rachelle Eves as Agnes, Sharon Anderegg as Theresa, and Ami Lynn Johnson as Louise, along with voice-actors Shannon Murdock and Dylan Black. As well, local singer, Gwen Smith,will dazzle with her beautiful singing.

Don’t miss this humorous and touching story that demonstrates the absolute power of love to transform.
