Label TextThe University of Western Ontario’s Talbot Theatre, under artistic director Keith Turnbull, presented a series of Canadian plays in 1967, including James Reeve's "A Beach of Strangers." Londoner James Reaney’s "The Easter Egg" was also on the bill. Two years earlier, Turnbull and Reaney had co-directed the author’s play, "The Sun and the Moon." Turnbull reminisced: “I thought the idea of…working with a real live author, someone who is really right there instead of dead or in New York would be really exciting.” As for Reaney, he was inspired by the "militant regionalism of painters Greg Curnoe and Jack Chambers."
