Sketches Of Leacock

Leacock (1869-1944) is the inspiration of this world premiere. In Sketches of Leacock, Andy Massingham brings together the myriads of eccentric characters Leacock became world-famous for. Often called “Canada’s Mark Twain,” and lauded by Groucho Marx as, “The funniest writer I have ever read”, Leacock wrote of thwarted love, bank managers, angry customers, nosy neighbours, love-struck kids (and NOT kids). They are all here for the fun and Leacock skewers them all with his razor-sharp wit.
