'Letters': An Exciting Partnership with DramaOneVan


A love so deep that is hidden within 


A bond between parents and their children 


A feeling so intense that can never be erased 


A pile of love letters that cannot be sent ... 

 


The Health and Home Care Society of BC is extremely excited to announce our partnership with DramaOneVan on Letters, a thought-provoking theatre production that explores aging, family, love and loss. When their mother passes away, and their father is diagnosed with dementia, three sisters return to their family home after years spent apart in various cities across the globe. Each daughter has their own memories of what life growing up with their parents was like, and each bears guilt for not communicating their feelings to their parents while they had the chance. Our story follows the sisters as they return to Vancouver and discover four letters their parents wrote but never sent; one for each daughter and one for all three. Will it be too late for this family to express the love they've always held in their hearts?

DramaOneVan was founded in 1995 in Vancouver, BC and is comprised of both professional actors from Hong Kong and the local theatre community. Over the past 19 years, they have produced and participated in different local drama productions to serve their community and to enhance the spiritual and cultural life in our city. Letters is an original screenplay by veteran actor and director Peter Poon. This production will be in Cantonese with English subtitles projected on the stage.

There will be two showings of Letters on April 19th, 2015, a matinee (3:00pm) and an evening show (7:30pm). Tickets start at only $28. If you would like to join us at this event, please call May Soo at (604) 831-1633 or email dramaonevan@gmail.com.
