The Charlottetown Festival returns this June with a play celebrating the life of a Newfoundland and Labrador scientist who became known as "the whale man." The theatre group Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland will showcase Between Breaths at the Confederation Centre from June 3 to 19, under director Jillian Keiley.
