Prophetess is a rabbit hole kind of tale, one that's a chaotic descent into madness.

Prophetess is the kind of show that is ripe for theatre …

An embarrassment of artistic riches has yet again convened in Niagara on the Lake for this season’s Shaw Festival. Two very different plays are given world class productions sharing many of the same talents. Last week I attended Anthony Shaffer’s psychological thriller SLEUTH at the intima…
