CBC spotlights MOURNING DOVE

The Early Edition's Margaret Gallagher recommended MOURNING DOVE as her live theatre pick this weekend on CBC Radio.

Pacific Theatre is opening their 25th season with a very thought-provoking piece. MOURNING DOVE was inspired by the story of Robert Latimer, the Saskatchewan farmer who ended the life of his severely disabled daughter. He called it an act of love and mercy, the courts found it differently. MOURNING DOVE asks some hard questions. It's met with a lot of acclaim across the country. And Pacific Theatre is an interesting company. They do productions that address social, spiritual and ethical values, they've picked up a lot of awards, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with this show. And that runs until November 15th.
