Glace Bay Miner's Museum at Neptune Theatre

Directed by Mary Vingoe at Neptune Theatre in Halifax, Wendy Lill’s award-winning stage play The Glace Bay Miner’s Museum takes a compassionate look at the joyful, heart-scalding story of Margaret MacNeil and her rebellious love for Neil Currie, a miner by trade and a bagpiper for the joy of it. Set against the darkness and disasters of the coal mines of 1940’s Cape Breton, this vivid drama bears witness to the impact of the region’s major industry, and its shocking conclusion leaves audiences gasping. Don’t miss this remarkable Nova Scotia story that began as a Sheldon Currie novel and was later adapted into the 1996 film, Margaret’s Museum.

The Glace Bay Miner’s Museum runs February 26 through March 17, 2013.
