REVIEW: Guillermo Verdecchia’s Feast is a fascinating text, but Tarragon’s new production feels hazy

The cast of English, lined up onstage. Four of the individuals sit at school desks, gazing at the camera: some smile, others look inquisitive. The man wears a dark jacket and trousers, while the women wear brighter colours and patterned hijabs. A woman in blue with a dark hijab stands in the centre of the line, her arms crossed, staring intently into the camera with a gentle smile. iPhoto caption: Original photo by Dahlia Katz.

REVIEW: English at Soulpepper/Segal Centre for Performing Arts

English is a damn good play, with sensible pacing, eye-catching design, and haunting performances to boot.
