• Pressure at Royal Alexandra Theatre - Wonderful true story, excitingly performed. Although the title alludes to weather pressure, you can also feel the pressure mounting throughout the performance. This production was stunning.
• To Kill a Mockingbird at Ed Mirvish Theatre - There is a reason why this novel is required school reading to this day. Racial segregation is, unfortunately, still an issue today. Through the wide eyes of young, susceptible kids, they learn the harsh reality of racial tension.
• Queen Goneril at Soulpepper Theatre - This fantastic story focuses on the eldest daughter Goneril in the years leading up to the events in Shakespeare's King Lear. This is a wonderful story of a woman's ambition and determination to succeed.
• Wildwoman at Soulpepper Theatre - The lesser known alleged true story behind Beauty and the Beast, Wilwoman sees Catherine de Medici, driven be scorn and spite, claw and climb her way to the top despite a marriage filled with abuse.
• Jagged Little Pill at Princes of Wales Theatre - A jukebox musical to beat all jukebox musicals based on the music from Alanis Morissette's generation defining album Jagged Little Pill. The story written around the music is timely, dynamic, raw and uncomfortable in all the best possible ways. You will laugh, cry, and feel remarkably moved.
