Letters

Parachuting Camel Productions—Alto – Portage Place

Letters is a Fringe show of epic scale. With a cast of ten phenomenal actors clearly dedicated to their craft and period accurate costumes and props, this feels more like a professional production than the average Fringe show. Prepare to be moved to tears! Be warned, there are some heartbreaking moments brought to staggering realism by actors who know what they are doing. A family is torn apart by World War 2, and the story is told by letters sent back and forth from Canada and Italy. The Christmas scene is particularly good, as well as a haunting monologue about Dieppe. Letters is a touching play that pays respects to the fallen soldiers without glorifying the horrors of war. See this show. It is an essential part of Winnipeg Fringe 2019!
