REVIEW: Shaw Festival’s wayward Gnit is an existential riff on Ibsen
Will Eno's Gnit hopscotches between tones, frequently counterpointing detailed, character-driven dialogue with metatheatrical winks to the audience. Curiously, though, Carroll’s production doesn’t make similar swerves.

Kimberley Rampersad is the Shaw Festival’s new Associate Artistic Director
"I’m interested in Shaw using the theatre as a voice to reach the people. I’m interested in him being a great orator and having his characters discuss great ideas, but within situations that the audience understands."
