Playwright and Artistic Director Ken Gass (Slip Knot, Claudius, The Boy Bishop and Hurray for Johnny Canuck!) has a new play premiering at the Factory Theatre, entitled Bethune Imagined.The piece looks at the charismatic and contradictory iconic figure, Norman Bethune (1890-1939), through a six-month period in 1936 when he resided in Montreal, prior to his departure for Spain and, subsequently, China where he died a hero to billions of Chinese. Bethune was also a man who really loved women and the story we see on the Factory stage is that of Bethune and three remarkable women in his life. Described as a 'passionate, insatiable man driven to conquer everything and everyone around him'. Bethune Imagined promises to give us 'three love stories and a date with destiny'.
