It's been a busy week & a bit. Here, for Now Toronto, are my thoughts on Crow's Theatre's marvellous RED VELVET, Canadian Stage's irreverent LITTLE DICKENS, Eldritch Theatre 💀's neo-noir REQUIEM FOR A GUMSHOE and The National Ballet of Canada's haunting MADDADDAM. nowtoronto.com/culture/some-s…

Wow! Both Red Velvet and Uncle Vanya made Glenn Sumi's list for the top Toronto theatre productions of 2022. PS. If you haven't heard, Glenn Sumi, veteran Toronto theatre critic and all-round excellent human, has a new website. Get on that mailing list! goaheadsumi.com/the-top-10-tor…
