A young actor from the big city lives with two aging bachelor farmers to gather stories about rural life. The farmers’ lives are irrevocably altered when art attempts to imitate life and the line between truth and fiction is crossed. "The Drawer Boyis a beautifully written play. It moves from toughness and hilarity to something devastating and tender. By taking off an earlier Passe Muraille drama,The Farm Show, and seeing that theatrical event from a new angle, it is one of the few plays to create an authentic tradition in our culture." —Michael Ondaatje
