With a team of four writers, we managed to cover almost the entire theatre series at the 25th SummerWorks festival. See below for all the reviews (ranked by the grade they received). The My Theatre Favourites Discount: If your SummerWorks show scores an A+ or A, you can cash in on that goodwill with a […]
The Divine: A Play for Sarah Bernhardt was the last production I saw this year at the Shaw Festival (I’m reviewing out of order because this simply couldn’t wait). Before I saw this world premiere (four years in the making by Quebec playwright Michel Marc Bouchard and translator Linda Gaboriau), I was already considering the […]

Maybe you’ve had other things to do (perhaps living your life?) but if you’re anything like me, you’re anxiously waiting […]
