The Colony of Unrequited Dreams by Robert Chafe
Based on the classic novel by Wayne Johnston, this is the story of a man whose career is buoyed and sometimes sunk by his unresolved feelings for a woman he never allowed himself to love. It is also the story of Newfoundland's final years as a country, the end of one cultural and political trajectory and the beginning of another.
Robert Chafe has worked in theatre, dance, opera, radio, fiction, and film. His stage plays have been seen in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and in the United States, and include Oil and Water, Tempting Providence, Afterimage, Under Wraps, and The Colony of Unrequited Dreams (adapted from the novel by Wayne Johnston). He has been shortlisted three times for the Governor General's Literary Award for Drama, and he won in 2010 for Afterimage. 2016 saw the premiere of his first opera, Ours (with composer John Estacio), and the release of his first book of fiction Two-Man Tent (Breakwater Books). He lives in St. John's and is the playwright and artistic director of Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland.
