{"product_id":"9780889222014","title":"Cold Comfort","description":"\u003ci\u003eCold Comfort: a play of love \u0026amp; bondage\u003c\/i\u003e is the third in a quartet of plays that Jim Garrard calls “Bondage Plays for My Country.” The play could take place anywhere along the Trans-Canada Highway, but it happens to be set in Saskatchewan, the geographic centre of the country. There are three characters in the play: Dolores, a fifteen-year-old girl who wants to know more about the world than what the window and the household TV can tell her; Floyd, her father, with whom she lives in an abandoned service station, whose paternal misdeeds form the sinister backdrop for the play’s action; and Stephen, the proverbial travelling salesman, who unwittingly stumbles into this complex relationship and finally becomes victim to it. \u003ci\u003eCold Comfort\u003c\/i\u003e was first produced by 25th Street Theatre in Saskatoon; then at the Salon Theatre at the Toronto Theatre Festival. It was revived in Toronto by Theatre Passe Muraille; and has been produced in Vancouver at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre.","brand":"Talonbooks, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028035322096,"sku":"9780889222014","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780889222014_p0.jpg?v=1763858114","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780889222014","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
