Ethan Claymore : a nuanced and observant production for Same Day Theatre that underlines the play’s strengths.
Poster for the production found on http://www.theatreottawa.com/professional-theatre1.html Norm Foster’s Ethan Claymore is a piece of Yuletide whimsy about a widowed egg farmer and the shade of a recently deceased brother who’s been detained on earth to make peace with the sibling from whom he has been long estranged.
This is the sort of play where you are able to anticipate how things are going to end long before the final curtain. It is, unabashedly and unapologetically, a feel-good script that knows the right buttons to push in winning an audience over.
