The Chilliwack Players Guild Presents Hector
Written and Directed by Clint Hames
Doors open at 7:15pm, show starts at 8pm with a short adjudication after.
Clint’s play “HECTOR” is, at its core, a play about judgement and forgiveness. It is the story of a family, torn apart by the past, suddenly brought back together following the death of the family matriarch, Mrs. Martinoff.
Will Hector Martinoff, who is challenged by a disability, survive without her support? Will her estranged daughter be able to put the past behind her and be the support Hector needs or will the past be too hard for either to face? As the family history is revealed, will the helping professionals, — ever-present in a person with a disability’s life — rush to judge, or provide support?
As more and more of the story is told, the questions of who needs support, who needs forgivenes, and who needs condemnation become jumbled. Each time we feel secure in our answers, the play takes a new turn.
