AND SO IT GOES - World Premeire - GEORGE F. WALKER

The World Premiere of AND SO IT GOES, written and directed by George F. Walker, continues Artistic Director Ken Gass’ Factory Theatre 40th Anniversary Season in 2010. Walker has had 23 shows produced at Factory, including three revivals, but this is his first new play in a decade. AND SO IT GOES plays January 30 – February 28, 2010 in the Mainspace Theatre.

“Walker has been a huge part of Factory’s history, and his plays have resonated in a big way with audiences,” says Gass, “So that when George called to say that he had written a new play, I pretty much leapt at the opportunity. AND SO IT GOES is quite different stylistically from the East End plays that Walker’s audiences are most familiar with, but the intensely obsessed characters, troubled social landscapes and signature Walker humour are ever present. This is very much a play for our times.”

AND SO IT GOES is about Ned and Gwen, middle-class victims of the recession grappling with the fallout of their daughter’s schizophrenia and Ned’s downsizing. Pushed to the edge during their downwardly mobile spiral, perhaps the unorthodox therapy of a quirky literary legend may keep them from going all the way over. Starring Martha Burns (Stratford, Shaw, NAC, Tarragon) as Gwen; Peter Donaldson (Soulpepper, Stratford) as Ned; Jenny Young (Factory, Shaw, Royal Shakespeare Co.) as Karen, their 25-year old daughter; and Jerry Franken (Factory, Tarragon) as Vonnegut.
