A touching uplifting comedy about true friendship and whole lot more! This Canadian play has been a multi-award winner since its premiere in 1999 in Toronto. It tells the story of two farmers who let the city boy into their farm home to learn about farming and write a play about it. As the plot unfolds, it brings surprises for everyone, some hilarious and some heart wrenching. The Farm Show created and first performed in the 70s was the inspiration for playwright and Blyth actor Michael Healey to later write The Drawer Boy. The play has been described as ‘a triumph of the human spirit and the healing power of art, friendship and loyalty’.
