Blyth Festival Theatre

Powers: Powers and Gloria

Edward Powers has built a successful furniture business, and is proud to provide his employees with honest work and a decent living. Meanwhile, his son James wants to go global and maximize profit over people. When Edward falls ill, James seizes power, leaving the old tycoon to depend on Gloria – a sassy home-care worker hired to get him back on his feet.

It soon becomes apparent father and son are fighting about something deeper than their business interests. And, against all odds, it’s Gloria whose fierce wit and contrary views open Edward’s mind (and his heart) wider than ever. A revival of a popular 2005 piece by local playwright and Blyth Festival founding general manager Keith Roulston.
