Coup de Coeur
Today we have two fine shows to tell you about:
In English, I suggest Trad at Centaur. Our friends at SideMart Theatrical Grocery are reviving the Irish play that made its North American Premiere at the Segal Centre Studio back in 2007-2008. Andrew Shaver, Graham Cuthbertson and Patrick Costello are great once again in portraying the hundred-+-year old- cast. (Drew directs our upcoming Sherlock Holmes, which will also feature Graham and Paddy.) Sarah Yaffe does a beautiful job with the design. I am told much of the run is sold, but, if you are lucky, you might just get a seat. Runs at Centaur Theatre until March 24th.
centaurtheatre.com
In French, I suggest Yellow Moon – La ballade de Leila et Lee. The play is mounted by Théâtre de la Manufacture with a stand out performance from artistic director Denis Bernard. Martin Labrecque – one of Canada's great lighting designers – does brilliant work. Runs at La Licorne until March 23rd.
