Haven’t seen a comedy so sharply directed as Women of the Fur Trade Native Earth in a while.
Renae Morriseau (w/ Kevin Loring) nails the satiric tone of Frances Koncan’s Riel-inspired play as do those playing the titular women: Kelsey Kanatan Wavey, Cheri Maracle & Lisa Nasson.

I started a family and am raising children in a place that ranked dead last to start families and raise children. Which tracks!

Mouawad’s work has been the target of BDS before for his collaboration with an Israeli theatre on Birds of a Kind; and, also, a production of Birds of a Kind was cancelled in Germany last year due to allegations it was anti-Semitic.

Conservative candidate speaks the truth. Encouraging young Canadians to borrow more from their retirement savings and get 30-year mortgages?

Been fun filling in on what to watch this weekend. Barry Hertz’s back at it next week. theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/arti…

Alberta Theatre Projects’ proud history of new works seems now to be definitively dead.

A pleasure to talk with Don McKellar and Park Chan-wook about their HBO adaptation of The Sympathizer - the tone of which they brilliantly translate to the small screen. theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/arti…

God save the king - from regulations relating to the marketing of agricultural products and the disposal of carcasses.

Can we add Great Britain to the foreign interference inquiry?

The Lord of the Rings musical that once rocked Toronto is not dead - it's alive and well and resurfacing in Chicago next year.

Just realised the book and lyrics are by Iris Rainer Dart, who wrote the book Beaches (on which the musical is based on). But is Wind Beneath My Wings in it?

I'd be interested to see metrics on the ratio of potential spectators who are intrigued by vs. totally turned off by theatre marketing videos.
