CARAVAN THEATRE

Caravan Theatre stages the world premiere of Fish and Dicks: Case Files from the Digby Neck & Islands Fish-Gutting Service & Detective Agency

 

Join us for a charming and poignant Nova Scotian story of love, loss & leaving home told through uproarious humour and song

​

 Fish and Dicks provides a farcical snapshot of life in the close-knit, remote communities of Western Nova Scotia. Blanche, an underemployed illustrator living on Brier Island, runs a weekly community radio podcast focused on local news. She’s also developing a book about two hapless and rather dim-witted seniors who run a fish-gutting business with a side-hustle as private investigators. Because crime on remote islands with a few hundred residents must be rampant, right?

 

Whale watching, fishing and fog predominate in this bittersweet play which features sing-along sea shanties and abundant laughs. Audience members will resonate with the play’s themes of rural challenges and close-knit community.

​

This play is loosely based on the collected writings of Nova Scotia authors Jim Prime and Ben Robicheau, including their popular Fish and Dicks book.
