Yes, there’s no mistaking the identity of the central character in [Proud], currently getting its Edmonton premiere from sparky theatre no. 6, under Ian Leung’s brisk direction

Director Ian Leung finds variety in the approach, too: that chair finds quite a few uses, and though the fourth wall never quite breaks, there are moments when Thingelstad will make and hold eye contact. It’s confrontational, and effective.
Paul Blinov reviewing THE FEVER
Leung, with his ability to tap all the possibilities of set and light in his blocking, and his unerring eye for image is well on his way as an in-demand director.
Eva Marie Clarke reviewing THE MAIDS
From start to finish, the show is completely entertaining, buoyed by a troupe of terrific actors, a fabulous set and lighting design and catchy, charming tunes – all under the very capable direction of Ian Leung.
