and stars in Watching Glory Die, which opens next Thursday. Its subject matter will be familiar to most people who are up on news and current events. And I quote:
“A riveting yet deeply compassionate portrait of
three women, inextricably linked by shared helplessness in the face of tragedy:
Glory, a troubled 19 year old inmate, incarcerated for offences at age 14,
whose compulsive, rebellious nature leads to a non-ending, ever spiraling clash
with Corrections Canada; Rosellen, the girl’s suburban adoptive mother
desperately trying to remain connected to her daughter; and Gail, a working
class prison guard, struggling to walk the line between her ‘orders’ and her
conscience."
Tickets are $18.
The Toronto Star wrote about the play recently, as well.I had a chance to see the play while it was being workshopped last year. To say that it's powerful is an understatement.
Watching Glory Dies runs May 15th to June 1 at Berkeley Street Theatre Upstairs.
Cheers,
Vanessa
