- Special Event: IFOA
- Participants: Douglas Cameron, David Macfarlane
- The year 2016 will mark the 25th anniversary of the publication of The Danger Tree, David Macfarlane’s memoir about his mother’s family. Weaving together the major events of the 20th century in Newfoundland, the memoir brought to life this storied region with wit, insight and deep affection. Drawing on his award-winning book, Macfarlane has collaborated with gifted musician, composer and songwriter Douglas Cameron to create a spectacular 90-minute performance of spoken word and song. More play than reading, more duet than monologue, The Door You Came In casts The Danger Tree in a new, moving light.
