Soulpepper's production of Angels in America is a massive undertaking, their biggest show to date and incredibly ambitious. That said, it is a risk that appears to be paying off for the Toronto based company. The show is triumphant - a heartfelt examination of humanity, sickness, politics, AIDS and more. It forces us to consider our own place in our community, and the lengths to which we will go to help our fellow citizens? Are there still angels in America? Maybe not, but the production on stage at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts is certainly heavenly.

Soulpepper founding member Stuart Hughes took the time to speak with BWW over the phone about his character in "Entertaining Mr. Sloane", being an actor and a director, and working with his wife, Michelle Monteith.

Krystin Pellerin (of The Republic of Doyle) is one of the five women featured in the production, and she sat down to talk with BWW about her return to the stage and her role in the Soulpepper family.

What can be said about a play that is both hauntingly audacious and boringly pretentious all at once? Nightwood theatre's enigmatic production of Sarah Kane's play Crave is the sort of production that will alienate some and fascinate others, but it achieves one of the main objectives of good art: it makes you think. * * * (out of 5)

In a swirling non-linear timeline the true story of Agnete Ottosen, Danish Poet and famed Resistance fighter, unfolds.
