Beard: a few moments in the life of Roy McDonald

by Jason Rip

Roy McDonald is one of London, Ontario’s most enigmatic and beloved residents. He is a poet. Known for his long beard and almost bursting shopping bags, McDonald can often be seen busking in the downtown core. That is where the play finds him. From there, Roy recounts his life: from a confined education system, to Woodstock, to a maze of Montreal bars and finally back to London. BEARD poetically displays the movement of a person and a people.
