Stable Home Life with Two Horses

Written and performed by Ruth & Luke Lawrence, directed by Lois Brown
Presented by White Rooster Theatre

In 2014, actress/writer/filmmaker Ruth Lawrence turned 48, her son actor/comedian Luke Lawrence turned 24. Both artists were born in a Year of the Horse. Ruth is a Fire Horse, long believed to be an ominous combination for a woman, leading to rebelliousness and destruction. Luke is a Water Horse, living on a whim with an ‘off the wall’ nature that makes it difficult to develop strong, long-lasting relationships. Just consider that combo, rearing up under the same leaky roof. Now imagine the life they must have shared so far.

From skipping class to stifling heartbreak, the audience will travel from open fields to late night car rides with this fun-loving but erratic duo. Once you hear their stories, you’ll probably feel a lot better about your own upbringing. Some of it will be hard to believe. Heck, you won’t even know which one to believe – they can’t even believe each other! This 90-minute show makes fun of the whole family!

Ruth is a past winner of the NL Arts Council’s Artist of the Year award, Luke is one of the funniest new comics on the scene, both are co-creators of the comedy webseries, Buy The Boards (www.buytheboards.com).
