THERE IS A LAND OF PURE DELIGHT Written and Directed by Don Hannah Set and Costume Design by Sean Mulcahy Lighting Design by Leigh Ann Vardy Musical Direction by Jennie Wood Stage Managed by Jennifer Shaw Featuring Sarah English, Martha Irving, Matthew Lumley, John Allen MacLean, Natasha MacLellan, Michael McLeod and Jeremy Webb. Tuesdays - Sundays, October 16 - 26, 2008 at 8 p.m. Matinees on Saturday, October 18 and 25 at 2 p.m. Live Bait Theatre, 87 Main St., Sackville, NB This world premiere from acclaimed playwright Don Hannah is based on the true story of the lives of Henry Alline and Amos Babcock. Alline was a protestant mystic and an itinerant preacher during the New Light movement and Babcock was one of his followers, who became the first man hanged for murder in the newly created province of New Brunswick. The exciting and tension-filled narrative traces a 25-year sequence of historical events that climaxed with an act of murder in Shediac in 1805. In recounting the tragic story of Mercy Hall, her brother, Amos Babcock, and their tiny community of family and friends, Hannah unravels a complex tangle of hope, desire, obsession, bigotry, faith and fear that speaks strongly to the spiritual journey of many people in today's world. Tickets: $23 Regular or $20 for Seniors and Students Matinees: All seats $10 To buy tickets or for more information, please contact Live Bait at 506 536 2248 or email info@livebaittheatre.com.
