"...more imagination and genuine passion than you'll see in a full season at most Canadian theatres... one of the most moving and powerful pieces of theatre I've ever had the privilege of experiencing. I left the theatre with a sense of wonder and delight and the hope that Headlines will get the chance to keep performing this very special show in theatres throughout Canada."
