“…I’ve never seen The Tempest like this before and I found it a revelation…feels utterly new, yet true to the text…I was particularly moved by Walsh’s reading ..”
Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight
“…full of wonder and magic…the director’s innovative use of women in traditionally male roles made for a sparkling performance and produced some very fine acting indeed.”
