Tuesdays and Sundays, written and performed by Daniel Arnold and Medina Hahn, is a new Canadian one-act drama, inspired by a true story, set in Prince Edward Island in 1887. The spirits of William and Mary, a rural Canadian teenage couple, awaken into a void. As they question where they are, they recall and begin to relive the story which brought them there: the initial giddy courtship and the overwhelming passions of first love, the pangs of a six month absence from each other - an unplanned pregnancy and a guilty and shameful young man amidst a community in which respectability is of utmost importance. And as they try to cope, to keep love amongst the fear and confusions of youth, these two spirits stumble upon their own tragic ending, ultimately answering where they are and how they got there. Tuesdays and Sundays premiered at Theatre Network’s NeXtFest 2000, was published, and has since gone on tour to win numerous awards/accolades across Canada and internationally. It has been adapted for broadcast by CBC and BBC Radio, and is being adapted into chamber opera, and a feature film (Slate Films, London UK). A passionate, thought-provoking evening of dramatic theatre.
