Firefly fans: Some of us miss Firefly so much we look around everywhere for repeat shows, blogs, Serenity reruns, you name it. Well check this out: Canada (Millbrook, Ontario actually) is creating our own answer to Firefly: The Last Green Hill.
Let's compare The Last Green Hill to Firefly with a handy checklist of items we dig and wish we had more of:
- Rugged underdog hero: check
- Feisty heroine(s): check
- Dubious characters of unknown moral colour: check
- Cool futuristic sets: check
- Colony of hero-needing 'good people' in trouble: check
What does The Last Green Hill have that Firely DIDN'T have? Well, an all-Canadian cast; a live performance real time out in the open; and all a short drive from home. And it's all put together by Canadian playwrights at a Canadian venue, 4th Line Theatre.
Come and see the real thing, July 1-26 (Tuesdays through Saturdays)
Inspired by the development pressures rural communities in
Southern Ontario are facing, this humorous and satirical epic production
features a cast of cowboys, politicians, developers, environmental resistance
fighters and citizens all caught up in the middle of a firestorm. Single
