Old Love by Norm Foster Opens at Little Fish Theatre

He is recently divorced. She is newly widowed. At her husband's funeral, an old acquaintance emerges to pay his respects, leading to a re-awakening of forgotten emotions. Old Love is a story of romance, courtship and relationships between older adults.

The two actors in the play portray "themselves," Bud and Molly; their two spouses; and Bud's son and daughter-in-law.

Norm Foster has been the most produced playwright in Canada every year for the past twenty years. His plays receive an average of one hundred and fifty productions annually, making him, by far, the most produced playwright in the history of his country.

Foster explains, "A friend of mine was going to audition for a community theatre production of 'Harvey' and he asked me to go along. I went, just for a lark, and I wound up getting the part of Elwood P. Dowd. The funny thing is I had never even seen a play in my life before this."

Foster fell in love with the theatre right then and there, and two years later he penned his first professionally produced play, Sinners. Foster's next effort, the highly successful The Melville Boys, would go on to be produced across Canada and in the United States, including a well-received run Off Broadway in New York. Since then, Norm Foster has written forty plays, an astonishing output of work.
