The Cornish Theatre Department (Capitol Hill) is hosting a production of Kevin Kerr's Unity 1918. Here is a little teaser:

Kevin Kerr's Unity (1918) is set in the small town of Unity, Saskatchewan in 1918. As the Great War rages on, claiming the lives of thousands of soldiers, the world is suddenly stricken by a mysterious and deadly virus. The small town of Unity seals itself off in an attempt to keep the flu at bay, but despite all the precautions, the disease descends. The community struggles to survive with courage, humour, compassion and romance. Unity (1918) is set in a chapter of Canadian history now long past, when more people died of the Spanish flu epidemic, affecting young people in the prime of their lives, than at the front lines. Kerr however, has dramatized these events with a contemporary treatment both in the creation of the characters, their painful and funny dialogue, and the structure of the play.
