Andy Jones:
An Evening with Uncle Val
Tues, Mar. 31st - Sat, Apr. 4th,
2009 | 8pm
Andy Jones is the hilariously sarcastic Uncle Val in
‘An Evening with Uncle Val’. An indignant, 70 year old retired
fisherman, displaced from his outport home, Uncle Val is now trapped in
the ‘big city’ of St. John’s. Homesick, Val struggles to figure out what
life has left to offer him. Uncle Val’s journey brings us an evening of
Christmas reminiscences, encounters with the Beatles, and the danger of
St. John’s winters or as Val likes to call it: The Seniors Olympics.
There are births, deaths, and even romances as Val struggles to find his
place in ‘city’ life.
