The Arts Club Theatre Company, Canadian Stage and The Banff Centre co-production of Helen Lawrence is a visual and technical masterpiece.
Visually exciting and with a near perfect technical execution, Helen Lawrence is a hybrid of film and stage that gets a second such treatment at the Arts Club’s Stanley Theatre. Much like 2010’s Tear the Curtain though, Helen Lawrence suffers a somewhat similar fate: while visually stunning and can be admired for its technical aspects, it fails to fully draw us into its story.
