    ‘Night of the Living Dead Live’ bursts from the grave in Toronto

    by W. Andrew Powell March 22, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell March 22, 2013

    In 1968, director George A. Romero, the “Godfather of Zombies”, brought a new kind of monster to the realm of horror. The zombies, or ghouls, in Night of the Living Dead, were fresh–or as fresh as dead bodies can get–and his film helped spawn a whole new genre of horror; the splatter film.

    Interview: William B. Davis on ‘Continuum,’ Cigarette Smoking Man

    by W. Andrew Powell July 24, 2012
    by W. Andrew Powell July 24, 2012

    William B. Davis is one of the most recognizable actors I have had the good fortune of interviewing. From his face to his distinct voice, Davis’ is unforgettable, and it’s largely thanks to the role that made him a star around the world–the very memorable Cigarette Smoking Man, or Cancer Man, in The X-Files series.

    Summerworks reviews: ‘Little One’, ‘Hooked’, ‘White Rabbit, Red Rabbit’

    by Susan Down August 7, 2011
    by Susan Down August 7, 2011

    The new work by acclaimed playwright Hannah Moscovitch (The Russian Play) doesn’t disappoint as it leads the audience through an uncomfortable story that, like the car accident, we can’t turn away from. Actor Joe Cobden is superb as the storyteller, Aaron, a long suffering teenage brother whose adopted sister Claire (played by Michelle Monteith with a wonderful reined-in neurotic flourish) is emotionally disturbed due to an early childhood featuring unnamed abuses that are never spelled out but only alluded to (making them all the more horrifying).

    Avalon Theatre: An evening with Al Pacino

    by Christopher Heard June 7, 2011
    by Christopher Heard June 7, 2011

    As I was sitting in a comfortable seat in the Avalon Theatre in the Fallsview Casino and Hotel in Niagara Falls on a warm, clear June evening, I had to ask myself a few times over the course of two hours if I was really watching what I was seeing on the stage in front of me.

    Review: Soulpepper’s ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’

    by Susan Down October 22, 2009
    by Susan Down October 22, 2009

    Edward Albee‘s seminal play about the degradation of American marriage and ethics is another vehicle for a successful Soulpepper event. It’s a supremely difficult task to follow an act like Mike Nichols’ movie adaptation starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, whose famously tempestuous marriage imitated Albee’s plot.

    Difficult, yes, but not impossible.
