Press
”…a daring Shakespeare production…a play we’ve seen many times – but never like this…It’s splendid in every respect…this production looked flawless.”
Jo, Ledingham, The Courier
“… a strong cast and innovative direction……powerful immediacy…a refreshingly in-your-face treatment of Julius Caesar.”
Jerry Wasserman, The Province
“Julius Caesar was set in Washington, D.C. Pardon me? How could this work? As it turns out – brilliantly.”
Leanne Campbell, The Westender
