Year ten for Jake’s Gift
Jake’s Gift is a multi-award winning Canadian play about a World War II veteran’s reluctant return to Normandy, France, for the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day landings. While revisiting the shores of Juno Beach, Jake encounters Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village. Isabelle’s inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts – most notably the war-time death of his eldest brother, Chester, a once promising young musician.
Since 2007, Jake’s Gift has gone on to play at festivals and theatres in 225 communities across Canada, as well as international visits to Washington State, the UK and to Normandy, France, for the 70th Anniversary of D-Day in June 2014. The show recently returned to Normandy this June for the 2017 D-Day Festival where the company presented eight performances in French across Normandy.
The 2016/17 season marks the start of the 10th year of touring, and Juno Productions and Jake’s Gift continue to garner awards and rave reviews whether playing in small rural towns or big city centres.
Jake’s Gift is a surprisingly funny drama that tells the story of a Canadian World War Two veteran. At its heart, Jake’s Gift is about the legacy of remembrance and makes personal the story behind one soldier’s grave. www.jakesgift.com
