ON STAGE AT MEAFORD HALL
Here on the Flight Path, a Norm Foster Comedy
August 7, 2007
Times:8:00pm - 10:00pm
The Georgian Theatre Festival presents Here on the Flight Path, a comedy by Norm Foster. Here On The Flight Path centres around John Cummings, a divorced newspaper columnist, who lives in an apartment with a balcony in a large city. Over a period of some three years the plot traces his various degrees of friendship with three women who inhabit the next-door apartment and adjacent balcony. John's intentions are obvious with each of the ladies, and Foster the playwright takes great delight in showing how John tries to find the right approach to achieve his goal, but somehow manages to fumble the ball almost every time -- and I did say almost. Flight path is a hilarious look at a screwed-up nerd's relationships with three attractive women. For John Cummings, living on the edge of Toronto's Pearson Airport, the coming and going of jet planes is simply a metaphor for the way life flies by. When you don't grab tomorrow by the tail, you're left on the edge of the runway, on the outskirts of life. Tickets are $30 from the Meaford Hall Box Office
