A witty and riveting play by the masterful Walker.

Governor General Award-winning Playwright

And So It Goes is a World Premiere by celebrated playwright George F. Walker, of Toronto. Walker will direct his play, running February 4 – 28, with previews starting on January 30. Among many awards, including the Order of Canada, Walker is receiving the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award in May 2009. Factory Theatre has premiered well over 20 of his 30 plays, and remounted another five that premiered elsewhere. His last play, Heaven, was produced at Canadian Stage in 2000 to great acclaim. Since then, Walker has focused on television as the writer and creator of This is Wonderland on CBC TV, The Line on the Movie Network as well as the feature film Niagara Motel. In And So It Goes, a husband and wife are struggling to deal with their identity, their home, their passions and their marriage, despite job loss, a mentally ill daughter’s demise, and an unorthodox therapist.
