Audition Notice

The Rural Legends of Mary Rutherford
Written & Directed by Robert Porter

August 17 - 27, 2006
Part of the Hamilton Fringe Festival

For decades now, legends of a witch named Mary Rutherford buried in an obscure woodland cemetery north of Hanover, Ontario have intrigued many. Local youth spread the tales to frighten their peers, and use the grave-site as a partying location. But who was the real 'Mary Rutherford', and where have all the various and conflicting legends about her come from?

Through poetry, music, multimedia, and conventional dialogue, “The Rural Legends of Mary Rutherford” follows the stories of an 'Isabella Rutherford' as her family emigrates from Scotland to Canada in the 1860s – while we also follow a group of rural teens in modern day who enjoy partying at the supposed haunted grave-site that lies down the winding dark and narrow 'Rutherford Road'.
