#KarenFricker's review of #CaseyAndDiana in the Toronto Star gives a glimpse of why the play is so good...
"Kushnir (the director) writes in a program note, the antagonist in the play is not AIDS. Rather, the play is a subtle but powerful critique of societal neglect and shaming of those with outsider status. It centres Casey House as a place that defied such othering by giving safe haven to those who had nowhere else to go."
#StratfordFestival 2023 features THE MOST AMAZING PLAY.
#CaseyAndDiana, the new play about Princess Di's visit to the Canadian #AIDS #hospice was stunning. Ushers hand out tissues before the show starts. It will Win All The Things: it was gripping, & funny, & tragic, & structurally recursive, & clever, & humbling, & true. Author Nick Green created a theatrical tour-de-force. Plus, the acting was amazing & music compelling. But the telling of the story was an example of WHY #theatre exists.
