Strangely Funny
Sketch-22 Xmas

Review by Mille Clarkes

I must admit, I'm a little intimidated by the assignment to write a review of a Sketch-22 production. How does one approach a critique of an act of absurd imagination?

It’s All Good
Anne & Gilbert

Simple, Yet Effective
Waiting for Godot

Review by Mille Clarkes

To have such a play as Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot performed here on PEI was a real treat. It is not the sort of play that most community theatre troupes would likely tackle. It is not an easy script; with its rambling seemingly nonsensical high-paced banter and abstract plot-line. ACT did the play justice.

All elements of the production were
