“ If there is one word to describe The Remembering it’s deliberate. Every single line, movement, article of clothing, and set piece is adeptly calculated. “

“In this 25-minute tumultuous romance, “I love you” is restated into the dark theatre, as if done by rote memory. As they say those three weighty words, each person seems trapped by their bodies in a series of repetitive and tortuous movements.”

“The whole short and sweet tale serves as a wonderful melodic examination on the life of an artist, something that’s certainly been on my own mind of late, and how it meshes with the demands of some of the more seemingly pressing concerns of the modern world.”

“ The trio’s production is called Home Sweet … Something, a title that puns on the idea of not having a clear definition of home. The play revolves around three women who wake up trapped in an escape room. In order to escape, they must answer a series of questions.”

“ How will I fit everything I love about Triptych into 400 words? ”

“The Brazilian play, written in the early 1980s when Brazil was under a military dictatorship, follows three itinerant artists and circus performers, a mute musician, and a traveller woman. “

“ This play gives us a peek into the issues and misunderstandings which affect people who live both inside and outside the colour book lines of life. Big issues are fine in theory but get difficult in the everyday routines of life. “

“Home Sweet…Something features a chilling vignette wherein the Chubb sisters box each other under the scrutiny of the escape room’s Master; it’s a powerful image, and one that sums up the struggle of Canadian immigration in a melancholy nutshell.”
