The 2014 ensemble feature’s JULIUS CAESAR PROJECT’s, “fabulously tough and unusually dark” Erin Eldershaw and Emma Burns (myentertainmentworld.ca), Erin Roche, Andrew Gaunce, Ale House Theatre’s Andrea Massoud, and Wilex Ly. This all-star cast is directed by an equally all-star list of directors, including Shakespeare-In-The-Ruff’s Andrew Joseph Richardson, Good Old Neon’s 2014 Toronto Fringe’s New Play Winner Alexander Offord, FringeKids Frequent Kyle Villeneuve, Good Old Neon’s Nicole Wilson, Theatre Brouhaha’s Tom McGee, and the SOTMSC’s, Victoria Urquhart.
