MARGARET LAMARRE - THE MOTHER

During this recent time of isolation it was a blessing to have “The Sylvia Effect “as an anchor in my life. Strange to say considering the tragedy in this inspiring artist Sylvia Plath’s life. “We only begin to live when we conceive life as a tragedy” Yeats. She wrote in her Journal. But stranger still is how uplifting this project has been for me playing Sylvia’s mother Aurelia. Very grateful to Peter Hinton and Rosemary Doyle for inviting me to walk the mile in Aurelia Plath’s shadow.
Theatre Credits of note : Marquis de Sade in Marat/Sade, director Greg Kramer/Umbrella Theatre, Yvette in Les Belles Soeurs, director Denise Filiatrault/CanStage. Nora in Escape from Happiness, director Deborah Frankel/Red Sandcastle Theatre Doris in Diamonds on Plastic, director Philip Cairns/Hamilton Fringe 2019
Film and TV credits of note: Granny BJ in Pink is In, director Aharon Jinjihashvili/Bell TV1 Series. Mrs. Town in Murdoch Mysteries, director Craig David Wallace/Shaftsbury Films. Alexander David Neel, director C Rowley/Cinenova. Nun in Only the Devil Speaks Cree, director Pam Mathews/Thunderbird Productions.

ROSEMARY DOYLE - THE DAUGHTER

Rosemary Doyle, was born in Kingston in the Hotel Dieu.  She has proudly served as Artistic Producer of Theatre Kingston since the summer of 2018. Kingston audiences will last have seen her as 15 different characters in Anne Marie Mortensen's THE LITTLE PRINCE. She made us laugh and cry as Winnie in Samuel Beckett's HAPPY DAYS for Theatre Kingston and as ALP in FINNEGANS WAKE.  Highlights on the Grand Stage range from Janet in Peter Hinton's ROCKEY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, Molly in FIRE, (Kingston Summer Festival) to Annie in Moira Davis' first Kingston Production of ANNIE.  She has starred at Shaw, toured to Ireland and played Martha in WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF.  Rosemary founded and reprised the role of Jane, the Wiccan in MY MOTHER'S LESBIAN JEWISH WICCAN WEDDING, for the Mirvish's  at the Royal Alex Theatre just before Covid-19 came to Canada.  Rosemary is thrilled to be running with this cast and working with Peter Hinton-Davis again.
