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
Theatre Critic / Edmonton Journal
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.
Arts Critic / Vue Weekly
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.
Theatre Reviewer / Vue Weekly
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.
