For our third show, we turn to the production which opened the Festival 25 years ago, the award-winning Salt-Water Moon. The Highlands Summer Festival theatre partnership, prepared to kick off its first season, we chose this quintessential Canadian play by David French. Set in Newfoundland eight years after the end of the First World War, this is a touching love story with the conflicted young lovers over-lain by the memory of the horrors of the war, changing roles for women in society and technological advances. The story of Salt-Water Moon resonates as strongly today as it did when we first presented it on our stage in the summer of 2000.
