The saying goes “Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away”. Not so with cranky old ex-army guy Jack.  He will not surrender to the old folks' home without a good fight.  His schoolteacher daughter thinks if he can only visit her classroom of young innocents, it might loosen his stubborn resolve.  This could be a tall order though.  When describing what serving your country was like in 1943, will Jack expose his soft centre or a wound that has never healed?  This is an adult drama about all the battles we face in life when only a low stone wall separates us from delicious peace.

ECHO Players welcomes Quesnel writer Roy Teed and veteran local director Robb Mowbray to the Village Theatre.  Following its run in Qualicum Beach, the production is slated to represent ECHO Players at the Theatre BC North Island Zone Festival in Nanaimo in May.
