Playwright Sky Gilbert on St. Francis of Millbrook

“Luke is a son and a brother who plays hockey and loves working on the family farm. Luke is just like everyone else except for one thing – his parents are concerned that he likes the pop star Madonna a little too much. This is a must-see coming of age story about growing up gay in rural Ontario.” Luke’s experience is the subject of playwright Sky Gilbert’s latest play, St. Francis of Millbrook.

Bill Anderson recently spoke to Gilbert about St. Francis of Millbrook and what had inspired the work.

The play runs at 4th Line theatre from August 13th to September 1st. For more information and for tickets visit 4thlinetheatre.on.ca.
