On Stage Featuring 3 Amazing True Stories From Vancouver Island’s Past
The Mill Bay/Malahat Historical Society’s live theatre production, presented by the Seeds & Salt Theatre Co., brings history to life with uproarious comedy, toe tapping music and unforgettable stories.
Major James Lennox MacFarlane and his Malahat Mania: A hilarious story of an Irish rogue and rebel whose friends and family thought was “crazy as a loon” for attempting something the government said was impossible. Responding with, “Bah, Government Bureaucrats they’re as thick as manure but not half as useful”, MacFarlane’s obstinance defied everyone and got the Malahat Road built.
Minnie Paterson, the Heroine of Cape Beale: A moving story of how a young lighthouse keeper’s wife risked her own life in a heroic battle to single handedly rescue the crew of a sinking ship off the remote west coast of Vancouver Island.
Painless Parker and His Dashing Dental Circus: The uproarious story of how an inept dentist, who pulled 357 teeth in one day, created an outrageous circus act to attract patients and make millions, only to have it all come crashing down.
