Stratford, ON — The Stratford Perth Museum is proud to present the world premiere of Marsh Marigolds: An Agricultural Thriller, a brand-new theatrical presentation written by Dan Needles and performed by Canadian stage legend Rod Beattie.

Known and beloved across the country for his portrayal of Walt Wingfield in the long-running Wingfield Farm series, Beattie returns to Stratford with a fresh new character, a mysterious new story, and the same dry wit that made him a household name. Marsh Marigolds is a rural noir filled with suspense, romance, and the quietly comic drama of farm country. As Needles describes it, it’s “as if Raymond Chandler got lost in Persephone Township.”

All performances inside to the Co-operators Performance Theatre. Seating is therefore limited.

Tickets:

  • General Admission: $40 + taxes and fees

Marsh Marigolds is generously sponsored by David Stones & Jean Anne McLeod
Tickets are available now through the Stratford Perth Museum’s website and social media.
