REVIEWSChoose, But Choose Wisely
“The most fun you’ll ever have in a war zone ... tells the story with humanity, wit, and humour” - Jamie-Lee Wilson, Beat Magazine “Stories about the War of 1812 generally focus on the actions of armies and leaders like Brock and Tecumseh. This play is about ordinary people, their desires and fears and the serious decisions they faced in this critical moment of our history.” - Kenneth Chisholm, Theatre in London “entertaining and thought-provoking” - Patricia Black, theatre journalist “very astute and accurate in its information” - Glenn Stott, historian “provocative and witty” - Penn Kemp, London’s first poet laureate “breathes life and complexity into an unknown or misunderstood chapter of the Canadian story” - View Magazine, Hamilton “This is an outstanding script, telling the story of the war of 1812 in Southwestern Ontario with accuracy to the facts and emotion of the time. Our audience loved it.” - Sheila Johnson, Director, Fanshawe Pioneer Village |
