Review on Edit Red
By Sean Merrigan
'There are miles of words between us, when we used to be so close.'
-Aoife Mannix
The Accents on Words performance could be summed up by the quote above. Its central theme is language: how it draws us together yet also marks our apartness, how words themselves always end up having to stand in - always in a rather faut de mieux way - for people and things we can no longer physically approach - ex-lovers, deceased parents, even our past.

Theatre
-Lori Montgomery
Across town, the Mount Royal College theatre department will also be mounting a student production - this one with a slightly different tone. Also composed of one-act plays, the MRC show will include Reverse Transcription by Tony Kushner, The Case of the Crushed Petunias by Tennessee Williams, and an unusual piece of collective creation by MRC students, called May Contain.

London Theatre Guide Review by Chloe Preece, 31 July 2007
This Practicum production is an enigmatic set of three one-person shows playing as part of the Camden Fringe. The trilogy gives us a glimpse into the minds of three very different personalities as we discover first-hand a profound internal struggle that they share, a fight, both physical and metaphorical, to be set free. As we follow their journey, each grappling with their past and their future, we are made to feel the presence of the ghosts that haunt each of them, the force, partly imaginative but also incredibly real, that keeps them trapped in their claustrophobic realities. There is a real weight to this piece but despite it’s sombre tone, certain slight moments of humour ease the tension for a few seconds (such as when writer Heather Taylor, makes use of her Canadian heritage and reveals the “curse of the Canadian country,†“plaidâ€), before plunging us back into the dark depths of the human spirit.
