REVIEW: In You, Always at Canadian Stage, playfulness meets unabashed emotional vulnerability

For Maev Beaty and Irene Poole, Stratford’s Ransacking Troy offers a chance ‘to smash the Bechdel test all to pieces’

“This is an ensemble of some of the most extraordinary femme actors in the country and beyond,” says Beaty.
