THE LIFE and TIMES of MACKENZIE KING |
||||
DORA MAVOR MOORE AWARD OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION The Life and Times of Mackenzie King premiered in 1993 at the Theatre Centre. The show earned Dora Awards for Outstanding PRODUCTION and LIGHTING DESIGN, Nominations for Outstanding PLAY, SET, COSTUMES, MUSIC & ACTING, the Chalmers Award for Outstanding PLAY, and was remounted in 1995 in co-production with Factory Theatre. VideoCabaret presented a new production of The Life and Times of Mackenzie King this past Fall at Toronto's historic Cameron House, playing to sold-out crowds for its seven-week run. |
The Life and Times of Mackenzie King begins with the end of World War I, and ends with the beginning of World War II – a zeppelin-ride through the soaring twenties and the diving thirties with Canada's longest-running Prime Minister. As the grandson of the notorious rebel William Lyon Mackenzie, King was driven by a sense of destiny and spurred by ghostly outriders. He fell in love regularly but never married, preferring the companionship of other men's wives, and seances with his late mother and other great departed souls.
