Brown Wasp

Saw Toe Productions—The Fountain – Portage Place

Sarah St. John is a woman on a perilous inner journey and searching for a cure in the healing waters of Lake Manitou. She has survived serious health crises in the past and now faces treatment for a malignant lump in her breast. “Brown Wasp” is brought to life by Megan McArton who reflects with gentle humour and ragged stoicism on the realities of aging and the myriad challenges both great and small that she must navigate. This tender, intimate, and determinately hopeful play was a perfect gift to an appreciative audience. We were glad it was the only show we saw that day so we could savour it more thoroughly.
