Review: A POEM FOR RABIA at Tarragon Theatre
by Ilana Lucas - Oct 27, 2023

In Nikki Shaffeeullah’s A POEM FOR RABIA, three centuries of women come together to explore the currents of change that shape their lives.

Review: THE FIRST STONE at Great Canadian Theatre Company
by Courtney Castelino - Apr 16, 2023
