REVIEW: Soulpepper’s Witch is thematically alluring but dramatically thin

Jen Silverman’s play aspires to communicate something substantive about the human condition — touching on loneliness, ostracization, misogyny, ageism, yearning, and ego — yet it never quite settles on a cohesive or definitive thesis. Lancaster’s production commits to heady visuals and clever idiosyncrasies to fill the gap, with mixed results.

REVIEW: Everybody at Theatre@York

You may not leave this production feeling any more certain about what happens when we die than you did when you arrived, but hey — you’ll have seen some young artists experimenting with their craft and you’ll have laughed doing so. Surely that makes the inevitability of death an easier pill to swallow.
