The (Post) Mistress

Marie-Louise Painchaud has worked for thirty-five years at the post office in Lovely, Ontario, a small French Canadian village where she now knows every client whose mail she handles. In this one-woman play, Tomson Highway creates not only a rural comedy but a sublime parody of small-town life—the northern Ontario version of Thornton Wilder's Our Town or Stephen Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town.

Playwright and musician Tomson Highway is widely recognized for his tremendous contribution to the development of Aboriginal theater in both Canada and around the world.
