add to outlook add to google calendar remind me send to friend add to facebook
A powerful comedy-drama about a cantankerous WWII veteran who reluctantly returns to Juno Beach for the 60th Anniversary D-Day. While there, he meets Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village, whose inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old veteran to confront some long ignored ghosts.
Written and performed by Canadian Playwright Julia Mackey, Jake’s Gift has won numerous awards including Best Solo Show, Best Drama, and Best Female Performer at the Victoria Fringe Festival in 2008 and the Best of the Fest at the 2008 Edmonton Fringe Festival.
In 2004, Julia traveled to Normandy, France, for the 69th Anniversary of D-Day. While there, she interviewed dozens of WW2 veterans from Canada, Britain and America who had returned for the ceremonies. Their stories and the events that unfolded on her eight day journey were the inspiration to create Jake’s Gift.
