Jake’s Gift
Jake’s Gift is an award-winning, one-woman play by Julia Mackey that tells the poignant story of a World War II veteran’s return to Normandy for the 60th anniversary of D-Day. What starts as a reluctant pilgrimage becomes a moving encounter with Isabelle, a 10-year-old girl whose curiosity and compassion help Jake confront his past and pay tribute to the friends he lost during the war.
This powerful story has resonated with audiences across Canada and internationally, and we’re thrilled to bring it to Calgary. It’s a moving exploration of remembrance, legacy, and the human connections that transcend time and tragedy.
Jake’s Gift is the first play in Lunchbox Theatre’s 50th season.
