A presentation From Theatre Newfoundland Labrador

"The day the ship left port to cross the spring Atlantic it was Friday the 13th of April"¦tempting providence they claim, to set out on the 13th."

When British nurse Myra Bennett arrives in Newfoundland in 1921, she's treated like an outsider. But in this tender, funny and breathtaking theatrical re-telling of her story, she earns her place in the community, eventually taking the roles of dentist, bonesetter, midwife and guardian of public health - earning her place as a legend and genuine
Canadian hero.

Simionvitch Award winning director Jillian Keiley and playwright Robert Chafe have created a totally unique show that is a heart-felt tribute to a woman who, for more than 50 years, was the sole medical aid worker along almost 350 miles of rugged coastline on the Great Northern Peninsula. Tempting Providence has been a smash-hit with audiences and critics across Canada and around the world.

"From the first moment we were treated to theatrical storytelling of supreme quality." -Southampton Echo, UK
