Bluebirds
By Vern Thiessen
Directed by Iain Moggach
Produced by Theatre on the Ridge
Étaples, France, 1918. Nurses Christy, Maggie, and Bab have crossed oceans to care for wounded Canadian soldiers in the Great War. Despite the terrible injuries they must deal with, they manage to stay hopeful as the dangers of the front draw closer to their hospital.
As each woman becomes accustomed to her duties and patients, they reveal more personal details to one another and through letters to loved ones. Through it all, the three women find friendship, independence, power, and influence in a place where men, once again, are trying to destroy the world.
Theatre on the Ridge Season Passes available now. Tickets for Bluebirds to be available at a later date.
