Two Ships Passing is the sequel to Dave Carley’s Midnight Madness, which received its world premiere in 1988, and went on to become one of Canada’s most widely produced plays. In the decade since their encounter in Midnight Madness, Anna and Wesley’s lives have changed considerably: Anna has recently been appointed to the bench and Wesley has become a minister. Anna’s son, Jason, thirteen when we last saw him in Midnight Madness, is now a university graduate - in business administration. The trio’s political views have diverged over the years and the once sexually repressed Wesley has even managed to develop a few sexual peccadilos. Set against the public background of Ontario under Mike Harris’s "Common Sense Revolution" and the private background of personal successes and failures, Two Ships Passing provides theatre-goer and play-reader alike with the lively and witty intellectual debate normally associated with Shaw.

Orchidelirium is a hothouse hybrid of fact and fiction, research and hypothesis, scent and sex. The name of the flower itself is derived from the Greek word â "òorchisâ" meaning testis. Through their resemblance to human and animal sexual organs, orchids were thought to stimulate lust. In fact, it was long believed that the flowers sprang from the spilled semen of mating animals. For the Victorian Alice O'Keefe, who established one of America's great collections of orchids (before venturing into flora introduction), the delirium leads to environmental disaster. For Frances O'Keefe, the hothouse her ancestry built and which she fiercely protects, will once again fill with the flower of legend&#151and orchidelirium.
