Tie That Binds Heads To Sears Festival

A car crash that kills the wife of the main character is the beginning of a powerful drama.

The Madill Drama Guild will bring an adaptation of a radio drama by Nyla Rylski entitled "the Tie That Binds" to the Sears Festival tomorrow in Listowel. The play traces a complex narrative following a car crash that kills the wife of the lead character, Alan Hart, played by George Rideout. Hart awakes after the crash to find himself in a mental institute. The audience finds itself questioning whether the character is truly insane or whether he has been driven to madness.

The character of the doctor braces after an attack from mental patient Alan Hart.

The cast and crew will perform the play in Listowel Friday, March 2 at 3:30 PM. Tickets are $10 at the door. Following the festival the drama guild has plans to stage this production at Madill at a date to be announce later. In the meantime we wish them luck!
