The Blyth Festival's 2008 season brings a wealth of comedy, drama, and headline news to the stage. Artistic director Eric Coates describes the upcoming plays as, "...stories that truly reflect life in this region - on the farm and in the small communities that make Huron County such a fascinating place. It's always been a great joy for our audience to identify with the characters onstage.” Four World Premières: Against the Grain by Carolyn Hay follows one man’s rise to power as he sacrifices everything for the sake of the almighty dollar; Harvest by Ken Cameron is based on the true story of a couple that nearly lost their life savings when “a nice young man” turned their Elgin County family farm into a marijuana grow-op; Courting Johanna by Marcia Johnson – adapted from Alice Munro’s Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage and The Steven Truscott Project by Beverley Cooper.
