A ‘mostly”  fact based comedy …..

THE WHIMSY STATE or

THE PRINCIPALITY OF OUTER BALDONIA

May 17,18,19, 7:30 pm

The Whimsy State or the Principality of Outer Baldonia is a new play by

Calgarian AJ Demers that tells the (mostly) true, fantastical story of three

friends whose shenanigans get them into some trouble of the

"international diplomatic incident" variety.

This is one of those times where truth is stranger than fiction,

and this is one of the most amazing fishing stories in Canadian history.

The Principality of Outer Baldonia is a now defunct micro nation whose territory comprised the

roughly four acres of the bleak wind-swept Outer Bald Tusket Island, not far from the southernmost

corner of the coast of Nova Scotia.

Ardent fisherman, Russell M. Arundel, chairman of the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Long

Island, New York, stumbled across the island while fishing recreationally for tuna, which were

plentiful there at the time. In 1948, he bought the island for $750.00. Arundel constructed a stone

building for himself and his friends to use as a fishing lodge during the sport - fishing season. He

called it the Royal Palace, although it was anything but. Legend has it that it was, in fact, while he

and his friends were engaged in a long night of rum drinking, that they conceived, wrote and

approved the Declaration of Independence of Outer Baldonia. The original text of the Declaration is

preserved today in the Yarmouth, Nova Scotia County Museum. The gist of it is in the following

excerpt:

‘Fishermen are endowed with the following inalienable rights: the right to lie and be believed.

The right of freedom from questioning, nagging, shaving, interruption, women, taxes,

politics, war, monologues, cant and inhibition. The right to applause, vanity, flattery, praise

and self-inflation. The right to swear, lie, drink, gamble and be silent. The right to be noisy,

boisterous, quiet, pensive, expansive and hilarious.’

This production recently opened it’s national tour in Calgary Alberta where it received rave reviews.
