Jake’s Gift Surrey International Children’s Festival Surrey Libraries Resources ABOUT Jake’s Gift is a humorous touching drama that tells the story of a Canadian WW2 veteran who reluctantly returns to Normandy, France, for the 60th Anniversary of D-Day. While roaming the shores of Juno Beach, Jake encounters Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village whose inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront some long ignored ghosts. At its heart, this multi-award winning play is about the legacy of remembrance and personalizes the story behind one soldier’s grave. The themes in Jake’s Gift cover history, music, remembrance, friendship, generosity, loneliness, loss and forgiveness. INTENDED AUDIENCE Ages 9 and up.
