Crees In The Caribbean

A delightfully witty yet deeply touching play about Evie and Cecil Poundmaker, a Cree couple celebrating their 35th anniversary with their first trip abroad—a Mexican resort vacation gifted by their children. The comedy sparkles as this fish-out-of-water couple navigates resort life with laugh-out-loud exchanges rooted in decades of shared history. Curmudgeonly Cecil and spirited Evie fill the stage with humorous banter, but the play unfolds as a truly heartfelt journey as memories resurface, and Evie gently pushes Cecil to seize each moment. Their new friendship with Manuela, their young housekeeper, is profoundly moving. This is a beautiful, poignant story celebrating human connection across cultures and the comic joy of love rekindled and self-discovery in later life against an idyllic backdrop.
