Allan, a young pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force, and Moira, an auxiliary worker at Blatchford Field, Edmonton, try desperately to maintain their long-distance relationship, but is the printed word enough to keep love alive in a world turned upside down? This powerful enactment of a wartime adventure highlights the struggles, on both sides of the Atlantic, that test love's ability to conquer time, distance, war and even human nature.

Kenneth Brown is one of Western Canadaâ??s most prolific writers for the theatre. Of his eight one-man shows, four have had national broadcasts in Canada and one in Germany. Sparks (Feuer und Flamme) and North of America (Nach Manitoba) have been translated into German, while Life After Hockey has been translated into French and German.

As an actor, he has toured to nearly every place in the country large enough to support a theatre, and has toured in four countries abroad. Ken was trained at the National Theatre School and holds an MA from the University of Alberta. His teaching work at Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton has gained him friends and colleagues across the country, and lately he has devoted much time to directing and developing the works of young playwright-actors like Sheldon Elter (Metis Mutt), the Ribbit collective (Be A Man, Be a Man With Girls), and the up-and-coming Janel Snider. He also directed Boy Groove, Chris Craddockâ??s brilliant boy band play. His most recent one-man show, Lewis Lapham Live, was based on the editorial writings of the brilliant Harperâ??s editor who is one of the Bush administrationâ??s most eloquent critics. Ken lives and works in Edmonton.
