Peninsula Players Announces Free Play Reading of ‘A Fine Bright Day Today’ April 2

March 26, 2018 by Laurel Ciohon

Peninsula Players Theatre presents a reading of “A Fine Bright Day Today,” a new play by Philip Goulding, Monday, April 2 at 7 p.m. at Björklunden, located at 7590 Boynton Lane, Baileys Harbor. “A Fine Bright Day Today,” a warm and gently funny play about love, loss and second chances, is the final play reading of the series The Play’s the Thing. Admission is free, general seating available.

Margaret lost her trawlerman husband 30 years ago and has become increasingly set in her ways, dependent on obsessive rituals and superstition. Milton is a bear-like American artist who visits her quiet English seaside town to paint its breathtaking coastline.

When Rebecca, Margaret’s daughter, moves in with her boyfriend, she invites Milton to lodge with her mother during his stay. There’s something about the genial, weather-beaten interloper that intrigues Margaret, despite the fact he drips all over her carpet. Over several weeks of shared meals, stories and bottles of cheap wine, an unexpected bond slowly draws them together.

“It’s one of those instances when I sit down with a play that comes across my desk and, not only do I finish reading it in one sitting, but am so moved when I’m done that I immediately feel that I want to share this story with our audience,” Vinkler said. “It spoke to me and I think it will speak to many who come hear it. Love at any time is good, but especially sweet when it comes late in life.”
