Maud Lewis World Without Shadows by Lance Woolaver

Maud Lewis World Without Shadows by Lance Woolaver

MAUD LEWIS World Without Shadows is the original stage play written about the famous Nova Scotia, Canada folk artist. It was first broadcast as a radio play via CBC Radio to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and then via a national Canadian CBC broadcast, in 1996. Subsequent productions have included King's Theatre of Annapolis Royal, Ship's Company Theatre of Parrsboro, Festival Antigonish, Neptune Theatre of Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Blythe Festival of Blythe, Ontario. Scenes from the play were included in the National Film Board of Canada feature documentary film The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis, as written by Lance Woolaver, and featured actors from the King's Theatre of Annapolis Royal production. The characters include Maud's husband of record, Everett Lewis, and Maud's good friends and neighbours of Digby County. All characters are taken from life. The Canadian actor, Niki Lipman, would describe the role of Maud as the role of a lifetime. World Without Shadows is dedicated to Thornton Wilder, with whom the playwright visited in Connecticut in 1968. World Without Shadows borrows its structure from Our Town it takes place in our time signatures, the perfect and imperfect past. Like Our Town, Shadows is as much a play about a village as it is a play about lives. Characters are presented as both ghosts and living beings. As the characters come and go, Maud's bright paintings spark revelations of their lives.
