Another excellent production from Soulpepper. Things are definitely lo0king up - not only did we enjoy the play, we loved the cast and the production. Jordan Pettle was great as Hugo/Frederick - he managed to play the two characters very subtly, so that you were really convinced that there were two brothers!
Nancy Palk was a great old lady - or should one say a grande dame? Her future in theatre is unlimited, as she will be able to age into playing these old lady roles with ease.
The rest of the cast were very strong - no weak players at all. the costumes and settings were beautiful and quite a surprise in a theatre that is best described as stark.
Yes, it's getting embarrassing that I have nothing to complain about at Soulpepper after several years of grousing. Now, if they can just stay away from Chekov...
