Helen
Lawrence takes place in the petty crimeridden Vancouver of 1948.
Although the characters and events are fictional, the story is set
against the real history of mid-century Vancouver - a city still
recovering from the global devastation of the Second World War and
awaiting the unforeseen promise of the 1950s.
The play is set in two main locations. Hogan's Alley, once a hotbed of
gambling and prostitution, was razed in the early '70s to make way for
the Georgia Viaduct.

OUR SUNDAY...was a great day....visiting Passage Island, going to a play and ending with champagne and jazz on our deck soaking up the sun.
We visited PASSAGE ISLAND with some friends looking for
recreational property. We caught the water taxi out of Horseshoe Bay
and the island is 10 minutes away between the mainland and Bowen
Island. 60 lots altogether with about 50 of them having houses on
them.

SEE THIS PLAY!
The play is now going to Montreal & Toronto.
HELEN LAWRENCE by Stan Douglas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Douglas) and Chris Haddock (famous for DaVinci's Inquest & Boardwalk Empire).
It takes place in 1948 Vancouver, BC and is a multi media production using actors, B/W film and recorded music. It is quite a technical feat for sure and I totally enjoyed it. Acting was superb!
I am still in physio two days a week at VGH for my arm but have been enjoying the art in the building...they have a wonderful collection spread out around all their buildings...I know some of the artists and their work certainly cheers up the place. One piece I finally checked out was Martha Sturdy's big red sculpture. The story is quite nice...all about friends & family and the support that is needed around being in a hospital.
That is all for now...thanks for stopping by....Valerie
