Tommy Douglas: The Arrows of Desire featuring John Nolan

An entertaining and enlightening full-length production that was 18 years in creation and is a theatrical tribute to the memory of a man. Douglas was a great statesman, humorist and storyteller. This one-man show featuring John Nolan follows the story of a Scottish-born Baptist minister who became a prominent Canadian social democratic politician. Tommy Douglas’s legacy as a social policy innovator lives on. Social welfare, universal Medicare, old age pensions and mothers’ allowances – Douglas helped keep these ideas, and many more, watching as more established political parties eventually came to accept these once-radical ideas as their own. Don’t miss this theatrical tribute to this Great Canadian!
