The Lunchbox 2020-08-19: Play on your Emotions

On the show:

  • It was Potato Day. How is this not a provincial celebration? I mean, maybe not this year…
  • I really enjoyed the recent production of A Fifth Wall: A social distancing project by Herbert the Cow Productions and Nasty Shadows Theatre, and realized that I had spoken to Scott Shannon in 2019 about his ongoing character with the production of that year’s A Story Jones.
  • And back in 2015, I spoke to Len Falkenstein about his original play Lac Athabasca, which reflected metaphysically on the tragic train accident in Quebec. Actors Alex Donovan and Jean-Michel Cliche join us to talk about the fake story about real events.

News updates:

  • New Brunswick reported no new cases of COVID-19 yesterday afternoon.
  • Blaine Higgs says he plans to change the way wellness checks are performed in New Brunswick.
  • The jury selection for Matthew Raymond’s fitness trial will go into a third day today.
  • A 28-year-old Fredericton woman is dead after an ATV crash over the weekend.
