Meet Sybil, an extremely feisty 85 year-old English immigrant.  Meet Kate, a wayward young woman who is trying to make a fresh start after a long struggle with personal demons.  Together they plot the ultimate nursing home escape!  This two woman multi-character, energetic “tour de force” is a touching comedy that will introduce audiences to the magic of euchre, memories of wartime Britain, romance and … love.

Freedom 85 was originally developed and workshopped by the Thousand Islands Playhouse and Theatre Orangeville.  The original One Act Version was first produced at the Toronto Fringe Festival in July 2008 and was the winner of the “Audience Choice Award” at the Frigid New York Festival in February 2009.
