Written & Directed by Kevin Kerr
Assoc. Professor, Writing Dept.

This 2002 Governor General�s Award-winning play is a touching, intensely human and darkly comic portrayal of a forgotten chapter in Canadian history. During the final few weeks of World War I, the global Spanish Flu pandemic is spreading across the country and has the entire town of Unity, Saskatchewan, under siege from an invisible enemy, more horrifying and deadly than the war. Seen through the lives of the charming, eccentric townsfolk � including several young women driven by their dreams of finding true passion � this gothic romance explores human needs of love, sex and faith, during their desperate embrace of life at the edge of death.
