The Syringa Tree

Rachel and I went to the theatre tonight to watch The Syringa Tree, a one-woman show starring Caroline Cave. Yes, there's only one actor, in a non-stop 100 minute performance, but to make things even more challenging, Cave portrays a couple dozen characters over the course of the play. It's very well-written, brilliantly performed and deeply moving. The run ends April 21 in Vancouver, so hurry up and see it if you haven't. I see that this production will be staged in Montreal at the Centaur Theatre--check it out.
