When & Where January 22–February 15, 2026 | Granville Island Stage,1585 Johnston St. Director Arthi Chandra Set Designer Ryan Cormack Costume Designer Madeleine Polak Lighting Designer Alexandra Caprara Sound Designer Rick Colhoun Intimacy Director Lisa Goebel Stage Manager Ronaye Haynes Cast: Glen Golden Peter Anderson Sandy Golden Eileen Barrett Reviewer Elizabeth Paterson What
better place to set a play about memory than “at the cottage,”
a timeless place where lasting memories are built. Ryan Cormack’s
set is a faithfully presented cottage, complete with aging deck, paddles
on the wall, ancient barbeque and a couple of Muskoka chairs. The
couple who are the heart of this story are also faithfully presented
– an unpretentious, middle-of-the-road couple in their 70’s
on the day of their golden anniversary. They should be celebrating
their accomplishments - Glen (Peter Anderson) is a successful car
salesman, Sandy (Eileen Barrett), a popular writer of romantic fiction.
50 years married is quite an achievement in itself – but Glen
is alone at the cottage. Sandy has thrown him out. Full
