  The Patron Saint of Stanley Park

  Kanagawa, Hiro
  Playwrights Canada Press, 2014
  Toronto, Canada
  

  Play for six cast members based on the legends of Saint Nicholas, the protector of children and a real-life model for Santa Claus, set in Vancouver’s historic Stanley Park. On a violently wild stormy Christmas Eve, two siblings, struggling to come to terms with their father’s disappearance in a float-plane accident, head to the park to remember and honor his memory. As the children are rescued by homeless vagabond Skookum Pete, the play celebrates family, love, and the true Christmas spirit.
