The Canadian premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s Melancholy Play, a comedy about depression. It was a sold out hit at SummerWorks Festival and a critical success.

eye weekly

“Risky performances — including Anna Hardwick’s lovely nurse Joan complement Ruhl’s sardonic script. A rare (Canadian) opportunity to see a Ruhl play done right.”

NOW Magazine “an impressive cast expertly bring out the laughs while understanding the pain beneath the humour.”

“…a wonderfully absurd script by Sarah Ruhl, directed nicely by Rosa Laborde with a superb cast.” — Panic Manual
