Coup de Coeur
" If you liked Waiting for the Barbarians, Centaur Theatre also has a play focusing on social justice, Innocence Lost: A Play About Steven Truscott. Roy Surette does a terrific job directing. Design is beautiful. Fiona Reid, one of our country's great leading ladies, is a treat. Montrealer Julie Tamiko Manning is spectacular as Truscott's mom. Congrats to our old town friends. Plays at Centaur Theatre until February 24th." – Paul Flicker
