TOP 10 THEATRE PRODUCTIONS OF 2016, NOW MAGAZINE

This seminal Tremblay work is celebrated in English Canada as much as it is in French Canada. Hosanna returns from the biggest night of her life, dressed as Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra. What follows is a harrowing and revelatory journey towards identity.

“Their duet, under Gregory Prest’s direction, is beautifully orchestrated. This is the best production of Hosanna I’ve seen.” - National Post

 **** “Hosanna has never seemed a richer, more complex piece of writing than in a searching new production directed by Gregory Prest at Soulpepper” - Globe and Mail

NNNNN “It’s a long night’s journey into gay self-awareness, but its themes of aging, denial and love are heartbreakingly universal. And these all emerge in Gregory Prest’s exquisite production. The play is so strong, and Prest’s staging of it so vivid, that the production doesn’t feel like a two-hander. Expect lots of attention come awards season.” - Now Magazine

 “A focus on psychological and emotional truth has elicited brilliant performances from Damien Atkins and Jason Cadieux.” - Toronto Star
