He calls his interest in the Winnie story an obsession: he knew Winnie when he was a boy and, as he read in this excerpt from <em>Northern Light<\/em>, had a difficult time reconciling the Winnie he knew, an aging spinster, with the young woman she had been.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have spent half a century trying to square the Winnie I knew slightly with the Winnie I could know even less \u2013 the young Winnie who fell in love with Tom Thomson and, I have to believe, with whom Tom Thomson fell in love. That the two Winnies seem so different should come as no surprise, as I myself am much different from who I was as a boy, when she died. I carry this image of her as dark, large, sharp-tongued eccentric, to be feared, yet capable of great charm and surprising humour when she chose to deploy those characteristics. I have sought out the few available photographs of her as a young woman: tall, slim of waist; perfectly erect; a smile teasing her lips; high cheekbones; soft, dark eyes that seem to challenge and welcome the world at the same time, the barely tamed dark hair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no hurt yet in those eyes: These photographs were all taken before the summer of 1917. Yet in knowing what was to come, it is impossible look at the pictures of young Winnie and not feel great sadness for her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>When Winnie Knew,<\/em> under the direction of Greg Perras, captures that sadness and leaves the audience with much to consider about Winnie and the now-iconic man she loved.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34726\" style=\"width: 364px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34726\" class=\" wp-image-34726\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/07\/Grant-gestures-thanks-to-the-audience.jpg\" alt=\"Grant Nickalls (centre) gestures his thanks to the audience at the end of When Winnie Knew\" width=\"354\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/07\/Grant-gestures-thanks-to-the-audience-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/07\/Grant-gestures-thanks-to-the-audience.jpg 707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-34726\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grant Nickalls gestures his thanks to the audience at the end of <em>When Winnie Knew<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;It was raw and gritty and in your face,&#8221; says Nickalls. &#8220;There are no rules to the story because no one knows for sure &#8211; this was our take on it and I think maybe we struck a chord (with the audience).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He commended his stage-mates and director for their work on the production, as well as the other community members who came together to make it happen. &#8220;Greg&#8217;s direction totally captured it and he made me see it in a different way, which was refreshing.
