"Parting is such sweet sorrow ..."
R+J: Closing Night closed last weekend, and we are so grateful for everyone who attended and showed their support for this hugely ambitious and wonderful show.
An excerpt from Suzie:
"This play matters to me because it understands the power of live storytelling as a collective expression of courage, solidarity and shared belief ...
Thank you for coming out in droves to take a stand in solidarity with us! Your presence at the show and your willingness to be brave and dive in is what made it possible."
An excerpt from Jessy:
"[The Fox Den Collective] wanted to write a love letter to live theatre ... in a way that showcased the joys, difficulties, absurdities, and heartbreak involved in a theatrical life.
We also couldn’t have done it without you, the audience. That is true of theatre in general but even more true of this show specifically. Without you, the artists of The Elizabeth Paige Theatre would not be able to make the show go on, and Agatha Wilson would not be able to rest."
Thank you to the exceptional cast, creative team, crew, volunteers, and you, the audience, for keeping the Elizabeth Paige's (candle) lights on every evening.
We hope you enjoyed your time at the EPT, and we are honoured to have shared this show with you.
