Basil Dawkins' Play - "Maas Mat Comes to Town"

$1,700.00 per Ticket

So Maas Mat, played by Earl Brown, remains, and Ruth HoShing and Maylene Lowe also return in what Dawkins describes as a new chapter in their lives - a drop-in on them several years later. "It is an entirely different story. Last year, Maas Mat's son fell on hard times in Kingston, and he and his wife went to 'cotch' with Maas Mat. Now, circumstances have changed, and Maas Mat has to go to them in Kingston," Dawkins said. An exploration of the issues an older person faces living in Kingston for the first time follows. Dawkins notes that in some instances, the actors had not considered the implications of the adjustment previously.

However, while there is a healthy serving of humour, it is not all rapping on the funny bone, as Dawkins describes Maas Mat Comes to Town as a "funny kind of heart-tugging story that will engage, and will have the same kid of laughter, and will even make you cry. It is not a tragic comedy, but the issues it deals with people will find absolutely relatable".
