Erin Shields’ Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary is currently playing at Crow’s theatre in a production directed by Ellen McDougall. It aims to shed new light on the Gospel stories by seeing them through the eyes of four Mary’s; the mother of Jesus (Michelle Monteith), Mary Magdalene (Sabryn Rock), Lazarus’ sister (Belinda Corpuz) and the mother of James and Joseph (Nancy Palk). It doesn’t really provide much illumination.
Erin Shields You, Always opened at the Berkeley Street Theatre on Wednesday night in a production directed by Andrea Donaldson. It’s the story of the rlationship between two sisters. The elder, Liz (Maev Beaty), is a high achiever; solid academics, law school, husband and two children. The younger, Delia (Liisa Repo-Moretell), is a college dropout, singer songwriter and a vigorously promiscuous Lesbian (or maybe bisexual) even though there’s only one orgy in Brazil. In spite of, or because of their differences they are very close.
