Robert Chafe: Two Plays in Bloomington, MN

Two plays with a deep sense of Newfoundland’s history.
Butler’s Marsh
explores 30-year-old family secrets hidden in the dark, dense woods. In
Tempting Providence
, Myra Grimsley boards a steam ship from London in 1921, charged to serve as the sole health provider for the sparsely settled coast of Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula.
