La Belle Laide

Lady of the Lake—Warehouse

This deeply moving play has no words. Thanks to Jackie Loewen for creating this gem.

The play explores the anguish we can go through when making difficult choices, and how disastrous the outcome of those choices can be, even if our intentions are good.

Rod Bielfuss is perfectly cast as the handsome young man beguiled by two beautiful women. Janelle Houcault and Tanja Woloshen present two attractive romantic options, each with charming personalities and contrasting aspects of physical beauty. Brett Owen, the manservant, accomplishes the difficult task of getting the job done on stage without drawing too much attention to himself.

I am starting to wonder why I spend so much time trying to find the right words when I am writing a play.
