About this listen

One of the most produced Canadian plays of the past three decades, The Drawer Boy is inspired by the creation of The Farm Show, the legendary production that sent a group of actors to rural Ontario to learn directly from farming communities.


On a quiet farm, lifelong friends Morgan and Angus live inside a carefully structured routine shaped by a wartime injury that altered Angus’s memory. When Miles, a young actor from Toronto, arrives to research rural life for a theatre project, his presence disrupts the balance the two men have built over the years. What follows is a funny and revealing collision between urban theatre-making and farm life, as Miles observes the farmers and begins collecting stories for the stage.


Cast: Tom Barnett, Patrick McManus, Stephen Jackman-Torkoff
