Based, in part, on observation of the mail recovery centre in Mississauga, The Letter Opener explores how everyday objects and personal effects act as touchstones for memories.

Following the talk, Art and Book Club members will tour, PAMA’s exhibition, Passages, which examines the objects we keep, and the stories they tell.

Mary Lennox lives with her rich parents in India. One day a cholera epidemic breaks out and nearly everyone dies. Mary hides in the nursery and wakes up the next morning, no one left. She is sent to England where her uncle, Archibald Craven, lives. The Manor on the Yorkshire moors isn’t a place for a child to grow up and there is a big mystery about a Secret Garden that had been locked up ten years ago. In the gardens she meets an old gardener, and his robin. The robin becomes Mary’s first friend. He shows her the key to the Secret Garden and also the door hidden under thick ivy. As soon as she enters the garden, it becomes her own little mystic world. In a room behind a tapestry she finds a boy, Colin Craven, her cousin. He can’t walk nor stand up, and everybody thinks that he’s going to die. With Mary’s help he goes into the Secret Garden in a kind of a wheel chair, and learns to walk. They all say it’s “Magic” that made all these wonders possible. Great entertainment for the entire family!

Ticket prices range from $18-$28.
Nov. 8th-10th at 7:30pm & Nov. 10th at 1:00PM.
