After 500 performances, this remarkable play has woven itself into the fabric of Maritime life. Hailed form Guysborough schools to the London, England stage, in Scotland, Australia and on CBCTV, Tighten the Traces is the voice of Leo Kenney, whose fierce persistence overcome cerebral palsy to win a living as a beloved door-to-door salesman in eastern Nova Scotia.

A tribute to terrific storytelling and to the gut and good humor of Maritime life, Tighten the Traces also includes extraordinary memories from Leo’s friends.

Robbie O'Neill has become a familiar face to Fredericton theatregoers in the last few years, as he has contributed his formidable stage presence to a number of Theatre St. Thomas productions (notably Our Country's Good), because of the mounting two years ago of his adaptation of Micheál Mac Liammóir's I Must Be Talking to My Friends and, more recently, the touching workshop production of Don Hannah's Fathers and Sons at last year's NotaBle Acts Festival.
