Review: AS YOU LIKE IT, Shakespeare's Globe
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 31, 2023
Its strength is obviously in its joyous and uncompromising queer nature. McDougall casts it entirely gender-blind, making it a piece where gender doesn’t matter, even though its role is at the very core of it. They turn it into an exploration of the performative quality of identity with plenty of tongue-in-cheek moments that tug at the artifice of drama.

BWW Review: DEAR ELIZABETH, Theatro Technis
by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 8, 2021
“I wish you weren’t so far away” says Robert Rowell to Elizabeth Bishop in the return of Gate Theatre’s 2019 production of Dear Elizabeth. Staged at Theatro Technis this time around, Ellen McDougall’s concept for Sara Ruhl’s play is still the main focus rather than the actual plot of it. Each night, a pair of actors who haven’t read the script and don’t know much about the contents of the show go on a treasure hunt reading Bishop and Rowell’s letters.

Their connection was messy and profound, platonic yet romantic, distant and intense. A love that resists easy definition.
