Press
"A must-see performance … the theatrical equivalent of walking a tightrope." - The Calgary Sun

“One of the most daring and exhilarating undertakings in the scope of contemporary theatre.” - blogTO

“It’s a risky thing to do…. it wasn’t an ordinary evening. It made me want to see the show again. Each evening is unique because there’s a different date every night.” - Mooney on Theatre
