We are thrilled to see Nick is being recognized by the Toronto Theatre Critics’ Awards with citation

“Nicholas Eddie charted a dynamic metamorphosis: from gentle, socially awkward drifter to a man consumed by paranoia. To colour this descent, the actor made marvellous use of extremes, crafting a chameleonic performance that encompassed both hyper-detailed realism and utterly theatrical bursts of emotion.”
— Liam Donovan

The Production Stage Manager is Amanda McTigue with Associate Producer Nicholas Eddie and Production Manager Grisha Pasternak (TKBB).

We are thrilled to see Sophie’s stunning design recognized by the Toronto Theatre Critics’ Awards with citation

“As the individual and collective psyches of the characters slowly unraveled, Rooney’s meticulous realism and scenic specificity grounded their psychological collapse, creating a claustrophobic milieu that audiences did not just observe, but had to physically endure. The production packed a gut-punch wallop and illustrated that punching power comes from the ground up.” — Arpita Ghosal
