"I can't think of a better way to open our 'Theatre for All' season than with a play that is as entertaining, approachable and universally appealing as the rest of our lineup will be."
Former Vertigo Theatre artistic director Craig Hall will direct a cast of familiar Calgary actors, including Tyrell Crews, Natascha Girgis, Christian Goutsis, Vanessa Leticia Jette, Robert Klein and Mike Tan, along with Theatre Calgary newcomers Kit Benz and Matthew Mooney. "When the curtain rises, audiences will quickly see how a masterpiece of genre can defy time and expectation," said Hall. "And, maybe most importantly, about how even contemporary audiences have an innate desire to suspend their disbelief and be thrilled. My hope is that this excellent team of artists can give everyone thrills and a much-needed escape."
