565+ - part of the project brand new festival
what?
565+ is about survival. there comes a time in all our lives when we look for help, when we reach crisis, when we will try anything that helps. for some it is therapy, for others it is medication. for marie o’rourke it is the theatre. marie o’rourke is a school teacher who began attending the theatre seven years ago on the advice of her doctor. since then she has seen over 565 plays. marie credits the theatre with saving her life.
following the success of her sell-out show victor and gord, una mckevitt continues her practice of making theatre from everyday life, and illustrates how the celebration of theatre can enable us, the audience, to express our longings and needs with dignity and humour, redemption and forgiveness.
