The Real McCoy at the Blyth Festival

Enjoy Canadian history? You'll love our new production of The Real McCoy.
Born in Colchester, ON to runaway American slaves, Elijah McCoy showed so much promise as a boy in school that he won a scholarship to study mechanical engineering at Edinburgh University, where he developed an abiding love for large steam engines.
Here's what the critics are saying:
"The Real McCoy is a spectacular work."
- Ari Lipsey, Stage Door
"First-rate… a thoughtful yet quickly paced examination of the man who became 'the real McCoy.'"
- Kate Pederson, NOW Magazine
The Real McCoy's cast of seven includes top actors with experience at Stratford, Drayton and many TV programs.
The Real McCoy is on now at the Memorial Hall until September 9.
Performances are at 2pm and 8pm.
