RUTH BONNEVILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS ENT - Walk&Talk Theatre Playwright Tanner Manson with cast members, Jean van Der Merwe with ukulele and Hera Nalam in white dress, during rehearsal of The Last Garden at Rachel Browne Theatre Thursday. Walk&Talk Theatre kicks off its second production of the season Friday night when performances of The Last Garden begin at the Rachel Brown Theatre. A queer musical love story - with a lonely florist, dinosaurs, and astronauts - playwright Tanner Manson says the show is all about "morbid optimism," a persistent belief that everything will be OK even when all evidence points to the contrary.
