NAC English Theatre in association with Theatre Museum Canada presents a retrospective exhibit about the life and work of one of Canada’s most important playwrights, Newfoundland and Labrador’s David French (1939-2010), in conjunction with our production of his play Salt-Water Moon.

Focusing on his five semi-autobiographical plays about the fictional Mercer family of Newfoundland, the exhibit combines rare artifacts, images and text to examine the history of French’s darkly humorous slice-of-life dramas, and his far-reaching influence in the development of English Canadian theatre.

Exhibit continues in the Theatre Lobby until November 6, 2011, and can also be experienced online.
