SYNOPSIS (Running Time: approx. 75 minutes)

January 1968: 64-year old mining magnate and entrepreneur, Viola MacMillan is found guilty and sentenced to prison. Her crime?
Being a successful woman in a male-dominated industry.

In Windfall, Viola transports the audience to the height of her success and relives an important interview with a young Maclean's journalist, Christina McCall - all the while grappling with her new reality during the first hours at Toronto's Don Jail.

WINDFALL IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS FOR GD ENTERTAINMENT. Second workshops and/or productions will be announced in future.
