NSTF - Winter of '88

The play takes shape as the playwright receives feedback from his wife - incorporating her experiences, as well as his own, from the bombardment of Tehran in 1988. Incredible script, presentation and performances by a stellar cast.

NSTF - Tease

Comedic burlesque with a strong and impactful feminist perspective. An entreaty to see women as human beings, not just sexual beings. Fun, sexy and illuminating.

Crows Theatre - Julius Ceasar

A timely story of unintended consequences. I find Shakespeare a little hard to follow so the intermittent narration helped to understand the story. Powerful performances by a stellar cast

NSTF - Consumption Patterns

What do we want, how do we consume, what are our expectations. Excellent stories and outstanding delivery by a stellar cast.

Nightwood Theatre - The Solitudes

I loved the diversity in stage - so touchingly demonstrating how women are different and how we are alike, across different cultures and geographies. Charming, forceful, tender, jovial - many beautiful moments

Mirvish Extra - Phantom of the Opera

Sitting three rows from the stage I was immersed in the magic and intensity of the show. Unfortunately though I missed the big moment with the falling chandelier as it was behind me. Overall, a great production.

Mirvish - Anastasia

Amazing costumes, great choreography and a charming story. A very strong performance from Lila Coogan as Anastasia.
