Breadlines

By Gwynne Hunt
An introspective look at poverty and the lives of those who are forced by circumstances to use the Eastside soup kitchens. The story is told with humour and gives a poignant portrayal of live on the streets. It's a social commentary on the economic pathos of our times, in particular on the west coast. This is an original play, with original music by singer/songwriter Kathryn Wahamaa. The play also features innovative and creative staging, and is set in Vancouver as five people wait in line waiting for the soup kitchen to open. Produced by the group that brought Maynard's Beatnik & Bongo Bar to the 1997 Abbotsford Fringe.
