“Ritchie’s direction, and Gianna Vacirca’s choreography, are admirably inventive…in the artful roving production… five vivid, lively actors share the role of Anne. And they do it up close, looking you in the eye, engaging your responses. And the multiple presence seems somehow to give the character more heft, more dimensionality, more ownership of a play.”

“A lot of our venues have been heritage sites, So it’s thinking about places people don’t use very often or don’t go to, and finding ways to activate it, and get people engaged in it. For this one, I walked by cemeteries all the time and they kind of scare me. I loved walking by them in the middle of the night and I thought ‘Can a show happen in a cemetery?”

“It’s[the graveyard] “a reverent place” where the irreverence of the play — with its talk of sex, lovers, infidelity, secrets – can shine. “Since it’s a play about giving voice to a woman, I think we can give more universality and more colour to that voice if there are more people playing her”

“Together, the actors each bring their own experience and aesthetic to the role, forming a sort of Greek chorus that brings a depth of dimension to the character. Andrew says, “They’re all finding themselves in the character and vice versa and so the play will find more universality as more people can see themselves in the character.”

“it is our responsibility to create more opportunities for under-represented communities in our company and our productions”
