As expected, Patricia Hamilton is still doing theatre — something she’s been at for four and a half decades.
This time, she’s in Calgary, performing in Theatre Calgary’s production of Enchanted April, adapted into play-form by Matthew Barber, based on Elizabeth von Arnim’s novel about four post-World War I English women who embark on a trip to northern Italy to escape London’s dreary winter. Patricia plays Mrs. Graves, an old, crotchety Englishwoman who shares an Italian villa with Lotty (Tracey Ferencz) and her friends. The production has been running since February 12 and will continue until March 2.
However, that’s not all she’s been up to. Fans will get to see her again soon in Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning, reprising her role of Rachel Lynde. (In an interview with the Calgary Herald, she notes — in good humour — that this time, she’s “in a wheelchair, looking like I’m 110″.) Plus, the prequel is a small family affair. Her son, Ben Carlson, portrays Anne’s biological father, Walter. This will air on CTV sometime this year. It is still unknown whether or not it will air in the US.
