If you didn't already have an excuse to visit the lower Don Valley, Canadian playright and Fringe favourite Dave Carley will be on hand this Tuesday for a special fundraising performance of After You at Todmorden Mills. Performed by the East Side Players, the resident theatre group at Papermill Theatre, the two-act drama is a reflection on how the aged see things differently than the young. It tells the story of Adele and Jean, two cousins in their late seventies and dying, who return to their family cottage to enjoy one last summer. But memories invade their sanctuary, forcing them to relive the summer of 1938 when one young man determined the paths of their lives. The local press has called the show "deep and dramatic," and strong performances "ranging from sarcastic and humourous to angry and emotional."
