by Andrew Burrill - Feb 3, 2026

Casey and Diana, now running January 28 through February 15, 2026, is a luminous, heartbreaking, and deeply necessary work of theatre. Written by Nick Green and originally commissioned by the Stratford Festival of Canada, the play was developed to honor the real-life visit of Diana, Princess of Wales, to Toronto’s Casey House AIDS hospice in 1991—a moment that quietly but irrevocably reshaped public understanding of HIV/AIDS, compassion, and human dignity.

by Ilana Lucas - Feb 14, 2024

Green’s play is a terrific achievement; its urgent structure, indelible characters, and alternately witty and wrenching dialogue make it a highlight of this or any theatre season. But what really stands out is its great, gentle humanity in how it treats all its characters, fragile people just trying to reach out and grab hold of each other.
