November 1851: In Mrs Gibson's front parlour in their newly built home in Willow Dale, a table is set with cake and tea. Mrs Gibson and her guests Mrs Cummer and Mrs Sheppard have gathered. In her one-women play, Gibson House Historical Interpreter Adrianna Prosser becomes three unique women of Willow Dale whose lives were touched by the events of the 1837 Rebellion. In a theatrical experience based on letters and journals you will discover history thorough the perspective of the wives, daughters, and mothers of those men who fought for change on Yonge Street. http://torontostorytellingfestival.ca/tellers.html#prosser Includes a Scottish tea in the historic rooms of the Gibson farmhouse.
