A visceral music storytelling show centred around the Battle of Vimy that probes difficult yet necessary questions about how and why we grieve.Often called the "battle that made Canada," Vimy Ridge resulted in over 10,000 Canadian casualties. Through direct storytelling, verbatim theatre, and live music, Brendan McLeod and The Fugitives examine misconceptions and varying perspectives around the battle while drawing parallels to other formative events in our nation's past.
Featuring inventive musical interpretations of First World War soldier songs—recognized with a 2022 JUNO Award nomination for Best Traditional Roots Album—RIDGE is a vivid, kinetic journey through history and an intimate, personal examination of our connection to the past. Passionately arguing against the exploitation of young lives, this moving production invites audiences to reflect on remembrance, sacrifice, and the stories that continue to shape Canada.
Thanks to the generous support of Veterans Affairs Canada, this special Remembrance Day presentation is being offered as Pay What You Will, making this extraordinary work of theatre accessible to everyone.
Tickets will be available beginning Thursday, August 20 at 10:00 AM at www.glasgowsquare.com. While admission is Pay What You Will, tickets are required to reserve your seat.
Donations will be gratefully accepted at the door in support of the Royal Canadian Legion and Glasgow Square Theatre's Moments for Everyone campaign, helping ensure arts and culture remain accessible within our community.
