CONNECTIONS

It's hard to believe, but Shadow has been presenting plays for twenty years now.

That's twenty years of world premieres (While My Mother Lay Dreaming, Dreamland Saturday Nights, The Liars), Canadian premieres of outstanding international plays (Underneath the Lintel, Honour, The Pavilion) and productions of some of the finest Canadian theatre available (Sexy Laundry, The Glace Bay Miners Museum, Speak), all in the hope of keeping you entertained and inspired.

THE COUNTRY

LITTLE ELEPHANTS

by Belinda Cornish
