If anything less was served up by the likes of these three performers, something would have needed to have gone seriously wrong. It focuses loosely on a single concept, presenting a homage to the urban myths and legends: the occasional suburban witches of the…

THE TESTAMENT OF MARY

There are two parts to this performance, which, individually and removed, are beautiful components. This slow burning one-hander is delivered with poise and grace by Pamela Rabe further shaped by the hands of director Anne-Louise Sarks. It’s a harrowing portrayal of ultimate loss as we discover a woman lost in the wilderness of grief, having…
