Coup de Coeur
"Canada's National Arts Centre in Ottawa has just opened their co-production of Pride and Prejudice. A masterful adaptation and beautiful period piece, the production is directed by Theatre Calgary's Artistic Director Dennis Garnhum. Dennis has collected a strong ensemble of seventeen actors and features the effervescent Gemma James Smith, whose Segal Credits include Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Harvey and Blithe Spirit. Combined with dinner at the excellent NAC Cafe, Pride and Prejudice makes for a great night in our nation's capital.
