Strolling Player — Kingston Theatre Alliance

When English/American actor Richard Willis married Canadian writer Heidi Reimer, they applied for his Canadian residency. One gruelling immigration form demanded a list of Richard’s location and activities each month since his eighteenth birthday. Thus, this grueling utilitarian activity gave birth to Strolling Player, recalling a life dedicated to the vagaries and upheavals of life as an actor. 

Age eighteen was a long time ago- from entranced boy at his father’s seaside theatre to actor bringing Shakespeare to the White House, through death and divorce, Oscar Wilde and Harvey Fierstein, falling off the stage and falling in love, Strolling Player recounts the passions and absurdities of one actor’s life.

The show is 90 minutes with no intermission.
