Jake's Gift
Julia Mackey (Vancouver)
Included in the Teen subscription package.




  

If live theatre can touch us  in ways that flm and lectures cannot… then Jake’s Gift is the evidence. A national hit, Julia Mackey’s masterpiece has helped young people from Halifax to
Victoria relate to Remembrance Day through a poignant story behind one soldier’s grave  Jake, a cantankerous World War II vet takes us with him to Juno Beach on the anniversary of D-Day. 
There he meets his match, Isabelle, a precocious ten-year-old from the local village. Mackey moves seamlessly between the two characters, generating laughter and empathy. We are honoured to present this theatrical gem about a significant part of Canadian history and humanity.

"Jake's Gift is the most theatrically pure show I have ever seen."
Katie Nicholson, CBC Winnipeg
