Atlantic Fringe Festival: Malloy

Returning Home Dept: Donna Malloy s 75-minute journey starts as she attempts to dispel the myths that everyone is friendly and warm in small towns and that Newfoundlanders love to talk they do, she asserts, but only about the weather, politics or someone else. She promised her father, who died 15 years ago, that she d bring him home to Archies Cove and bury him next to her mother. But no one seems to know where her mother is buried, nor do they want to talk about her or how she died. Newfoundland native Dolores Drake tells the story of a daughter of the Rock returning home after 20 years to bury her father in the beguiling one-woman show, From Away, part of the Atlantic Fringe Festival.Donna is not in a good place: She s passed 50, is twice divorced and has found a lump in her breast especially frightening as her mother died at 49.
