Jennie Hawkes has a key place in Canadian history as the first woman sentenced to hang in Alberta for murder. To wit: the killing of her philander husband’s lover and neighbour, Rosella Stoley. Jennie is the central (and controversial) figure in Tara Beagan’s play Thy Neighbour’s Wife, the latest offering of Theatre North West. The play runs from Feb. 3 to 21.
Naomi Wright of Vancouver plays Jennie in the local production. As a drama based on real life, however, it falls on the shoulders of talented Toronto actor Martin Happer to bring out flaws and facets of her husband, lawyer Wilfred Hawkes.
The spirit of Golden Pond, its sweet summer nights by glowing fireside, deep woods and utter simplicity, are encapsulated in a mailman. His name is Charlie.

So he delivers the mail, meets and greets passers-by along his route with cheer, accomplishing both with a gusto that is utterly unsuspecting. But still waters, as they say, run deep, On Golden Pond.
This classic and celebrated play, written by Ernest Thompson, opens this week at Theatre North West for what is the company’s final performance run of the 2001/2002 season.
