Events Description
One of the most widely produced plays in Canadian theatre, this engaging, two-man musical play dramatizes the life of Canadian World War I flying ace, Billy Bishop. The legendary Canadian pilot is credited with 72 victories, including those during the Battle of Vimy Ridge and surviving an encounter with the infamous Red Baron himself.
Written by John MacLachlan Gray in collaboration with actor Eric Peterson in 1978, and met with rave reviews during its original run, the play has since been performed in over 150 independent productions. It has won the prestigious Los Angeles Drama Critics’ Award, the Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award, and the Governor General’s Award for English Drama.
In this adaptation, one actor – Maple Ridge’s own Damon Calderwood – plays Billy Bishop (as well as 17 other roles) while Chris King plays the piano and provides vocal accompaniment.
