the cake | responses

"The icing on this particular cake is Erla Faye Forsyth. [...] Directed by Angela Konrad, the balance never falters. Humour keeps this cake light but real.”
- Jo Ledingham

“Stephanie Elgersma turns in a stellar performance. [...] Director Angela Konrad just manages to keep the humour on even keel with the play’s more serious counterpoints without ever resorting to moralizing.”
-John Jane, reviewvancouver

"All four actors felt consistently sincere and vulnerable through moments of extreme emotion and in silly quirks. [...] Indulge in Cake! You’ll be glad that you did."
-Blake Hepburn, Two Cents & Two Pence

"I’m so grateful for the tenderness of THE CAKE— not to mention its wit. [...] Playing Della, actor Erla Faye Forsyth gives a downright miraculous performance [and] as Jen, Stephanie Elgersma matches Forsyth step for step."
-Colin Thomas

"Director Angela Konrad’s light approach ensures a balanced approach to each character. [...] THE CAKE is a powerful and hilarious exploration of how our beliefs are shaped and how we can alter our values when it comes to the ones we love."
-Katie Gartlan-Close, Vancouver Presents
