David Fallis On Eric In The Morning

A new play opened in Winnipeg this week. Incompletely Strangled Theatre presents 'Such Creatures' by Judith Thompson in the Colin Jackson Theatre at Prairie Theatre Exchange. The show features Winnipeg stage legend Doreen Brownstown and up and coming stage actor Gislina Patterson. 'Such Creatures' is a story about love, hate, strength and hope as the audience follows two women on separate journeys--each coming face to face with monsters. One is going back to Auschwitz, the other waits in a park for the fight of her life. Such Creatures is on until Sunday Jan 05, 2014
