Message From the Mayor of Deal On behalf of the residents of Deal I welcome the return of our young Canadian friends. Deal’s motto is “Welcome the Stranger” but these young people are no strangers to our shores. It is always good to forge bonds between nations and between groups and our Nova Scotian friends have fostered the connection between our two countries with great enthusiasm and charm. Unless we remember the lessons of history we are destined to repeat our mistakes. ‘Tragedy and Triumph’ will keep the memory fresh and the productions of 440 will make us aware of our responsibilities for the future. This is the 15th Anniversary of 440 Productions as they remember wartime heritage. Tragedy and Triumph is the third production in the ‘Time to Remember’ international performance series and for these young people the third year of performances in Deal since 2004. We have enjoyed their productions in the past and look forward to this year’s performance as no exception. My thanks also go to the Royal British Legion Downs Branch for hosting this event at the Astor Theatre on May 21st, 2007. I wish all an enjoyable evening. Yours truly, Councillor Jim Cronk Mayor of Deal May, 2007

From the Director The stories portrayed in our 2006-07 stage production, Tragedy and Triumph – Memories of World War II are real. They come from Veterans, war brides, and others who lived through the years of World War II. Some of the people whose personal recollections supplied material for the script will be in our audiences watching as their anecdotes are dramatized. Others, who did not survive the war, will come to our stage presentation through research and the memories of their friends. Although the Time to Remember series of stage productions has its serious aspects, our hope is to bring a smile to the lips and a gleam of recognition to the eye. If you were "there" in the Forties, you may well catch a glimpse of some part of your own life portrayed by our actors on stage. If you are of recent vintage, you may gain deeper insight into "the way it was" during wartime. George Egan
