From Canadian Stage
An interview with the "power couple", on YouTube

One of the FB posts was by Canadian Stage, with a photo & links to buy tickets... There's no link for the photo, so I screen shot it:


Also, there's a review of WAoVW, and a CBC article about WAoVW and Wights, another play being staged currently, down the street from WAoVW.

I'm going to see it this weekend!

[verushka70]

Ooooohhhh, cool! Please report back, when you get the chance!

[vivarocksteady]

It was very good! It felt like it went really fast, which is the best indicator, really. My friend and I did think the anger was a little muted, but I also wonder when you're playing these roles with your IRL spouse, can you really tap into your actual marriage for that energy? Might get awkward! Also it was a matinee towards the end of the run, so it could have just been that.

[verushka70]

Interesting! Yeah, and what if your actual marriage isn't bad? Would there even be that kind of anger to tap into, for such roles? I honestly don't know.

[vivarocksteady]

There's probably other ways to channel anger, even if you've had a pretty good life-- but when you tap into it, do you really want to unleash it on your IRL partner?

But I've never been able to do creative collabs with friends or loved ones. Like, sharing things and getting feedback, sure. But every time I've attempted a true collab it's gone sour, and I can't imagine doing that kind of work with my life partner!
