Review: SHOOTING HEDDA GABLER, Rose Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - October 06, 2023
A modern adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's tragic story of Hedda Gabler, reframed to reflect the #MeToo movement sounds both intriguing and promising. Nina Segal's version captures the claustrophobia and anguish of the original, while setting it against a very modern framework, but it suffers from a lack of pace at times.

Review: FRANKENSTEIN: AN IMMERSIVE SHOW, Crypt, St. Peter's Church
by Cindy Marcolina - October 05, 2023
Benjamin’s study of Victor’s mental health is exceptionally refreshing, but ends up feeling a tad apocryphal in the context, especially when considering the major changes to Shelley’s narrative. All in all, it’s a decently eerie night out in the lead-up to Halloween, but it isn't the must-see version of Frankenstein it could be yet.
