The director of the play is a three-time winner of the Outstanding Director Award, Hanna Fridhed from Sweden.
“In the story and characters of ‘Purge’, there are a lot of layers and the character development is great. In essence, the story is deeply humane,” Fridhed said.
The artistic director of Theater; Just Because, Bailey Yarkie is amused by the high-quality visual performance of the play and the fact that the team is following all the necessary safety measurements.
“We are waiting optimistically that ‘Purge’ will open the door to our region’s cultural life now the control over the virus is improving,” Yarkie said.
The performance features Jenny Price, Taylor Vincent, Davki Patel, Tanner Chubb and Chris Bowers.
“Purge” which has been performed in 15 languages hasn’t been performed in Canada before. It was played in New York and Washington in 2011.
