Story:

Garfield Lyons is quite possibly the grouchiest man in Canada. And now he’s stuck in his remote rural cottage recovering from a heart attack under the eye of a grimly observant nurse. Just when he’s positive things can’t get any worse, a letter arrives announcing the imminent arrival of his estranged 14-year-old grandson.

Part intergenerational comedy, part searing exploration of the isolation dividing fathers from sons, this smart, funny and deeply insightful story proves once and for all that love is worth the risk.

“A heartfelt, hilarious, smart, thoughtful play … about absent fathers and sons and the effect that has on those left behind.” – The Slotkin Letter
