Wingfield Lost & Found
by Dan Needles (Canadian)
Starring Rod Beattie, Directed by Douglas Beattie
In the midst of a record drought, wells on the Seventh Line are drying up. A search to locate a new well on Wingfield Farm ensues, but distractions abound: a high-tech cattle drive, a battle with yellow jackets, a feud with a red-tailed hawk, an eccentric line-up of water witches and a well-driller who is only too happy to perforate the ground at forty dollars a foot.
Is it the end of farming for Walt and Maggie, or can the precious liquid be found? This comedy is a whimsical reminder that searching can turn up more than what is lost and teach us the value of more than what is found. The seventh (and most recent) in the series.
“... skillfully drawn observations on human foibles... keeps up the level of craftsmanship Beattie and Needles have perennially maintained.”-- Adrian Chamberlain, Victoria Times Colonist • “... the jokes are still insightful, and they can still shake the rafters with laughter... addresses serious problems with warmth and understanding... Lost and Found feels rich and full. It's a truly exceptional work.”-- Kathleen Bell, See Magazine
