Off Mirvish - Oslo

While liberties were taken in the storytelling it did not take away from a fascinating presentation of how the development of the historical accord between Israel and the PLO, facilitated by Norway, was negotiated. Thrilling and suspenseful, we really enjoyed this play.

Mirvish - The Last Ship

While the score was a little sombre, lacking in inspiration and energy, the cast was impressive with a lot of exceptional vocal talent. The choreography was simple, but the sets were amazing, integrating visuals that clearly coveyed a large shipyard. 

Soulpepper - Little Menace: Pinter Plays

An interesting collection of short plays about anxiety, fear and misunderstandings, presented in a clever and unexpected format. Very well executed by the cast, it was intriguing with great comedic moments.

Mirvish Extra - Jukebox Hero

A heartwarming story of a rising Rockstar, full of family and romantic drama, was told through 20 songs from Foreigner. The cast, choreography and staging was excellent, creating a solid and entertaining show. You don't have to be a big fan of Foreigner to enjoy it.
