Cast:
SARAH Susan Coodin
GRAMPA Glen Pinchin


In Sally Stubbs' SPINNING YOU HOME memory and history collide. Sarah, a child of the 1950s summons her Grampa "to life" and he tells her a fantastic, unbelievable yet true story set during the Canadian Gold Rush. It's make believe, yes, but it's also a warm tale of family. We wanted to hint at the gold rush past while anchoring the characters in the 50s. And the story needed to flow quickly and easily with no stops to change clothes. Towels and cushions could become babies, and a metal plate both a "gold pan" and a hat for a dance number. Susan Coodin's Sarah could be herself dressed in an old nightshirt and yet became Sophia - a dead bride, and Glen Pinchins Grampa was grampa, but also dog team, prospector, and (hilariously) a bar maid with the addition of a hat, coat or apron, all without skipping a beat.
