MY THREE ANGELS The New Phoenix Theatre Company
“My Three Angels” was written by some solid mid-century writers, with all of the tricks of that era of Hollywood, the good guys are bad and the bad guys are good and a bad guy rejects an opportunity.

THE 3 MUSKETEERS All For One Theatrical Productions/Shea's 710 Theatre
Fortunately for the production of “The 3 Musketeers,” it survives the Linda Alper script and director Chris Kelly’s work because of the inherent strength of Alexandre Dumas’ story.
Dumas knew how to tell a story.

MOTHER JONES IN HEAVEN (AND HELL) Manny Fried Playhouse/Subversive Theatre
“Mother Jones” is a magazine, seen by many.
What potentially few know is that the progressive magazine is named for a well-known labor organizer and radical unionist.

There’s this fascination in the theater with Chekhov, “The Cherry Orchard,” “The Seagull,” all that.

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES Festival Theatre/Shaw Festival
Too long.
Too melodramatic.
Strong set, although the computer stuff wasn’t working right.
Fine Sherlock Holmes in Damien Atkins.
Just off a vast grassy field outside the Festival Theatre, life returns to the Great Grimpen Mire, Dartmoor and the giant, howling hound in “The Hound of the Baskervilles.”

OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR Royal George Theatre/Shaw Festival
Just over a century ago, the Canadian Army built the Royal George Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake as part of a vast training base, preparing troops to go the bloodbath of the Western Front.
The war started badly and descended into military mass murder.

HENRY V Jackie Maxwell Studio Theatre/Shaw Festival
Maybe because the Stratford Festival is such a Shakespeare production factory, it took the Shaw Festival to turn its first Shakespeare production into a home run, or for the Canadian context, a hat trick.
