She’s a regenerative farmer with dirt under her nails; he’s a hedge fund manager who’d rather be on the golf course than in a debate over land use. As tensions rise\, their neighbourly friction turns into a full-on feud over land use and climate change. Will they find common ground\, or remain stuck on opposite sides of the fence? \nAbout Dale Colleen Hamilton \nDale comes from a farm family in southern Ontario where she lives on her 16 acre farm near Guelph. She has been writing\, producing and directing community-engaged plays for almost forty years and has a Masters in Environmental Studies. She recently completed a successful national tour (including a performance at the Canadian Senate. For over 40 years\, Dale has been writing and producing community-engaged theatre—sparking movements\, inspiring change\, and connecting people to their communities.
