Barb Popel: “Witty word play. That’s what I expected from accomplished playwright and actor Pierre Brault, and that’s what I got in his second play about Will Somers.”

Whether you are still searching for the perfect gift, hosting a Friendsmass dinner, or hoping to just have a good non-denominational time on the town we hope you stay warm, stay safe, and have yourselves a merry little weekend!

“For the last week we have been talking non-stop about how excited we were to get to see this show on stage and couldn’t wait for opening night.”

Barb Popel: “Plosive Production’s The Ugly One is a fine start to The Gladstone’s theatre season. It has an interesting script, an excellent cast, and good direction.”

Barb Popel: “This local gem deserves to be seen!”

Nell Gwynn is playing at The Gladstone Theatre until June 8.

So grab your ticket before the short run ends on Saturday!

Brian Carroll: “Lewd, sexy, ribald, hilariously funny, richly entertaining and bold!”

The Gladstone is guaranteed to be one of the busiest venues in Ottawa next season.

Barb Popel: “Dief the Chief… is Pierre Brault’s best work as a playwright.”

Brian Carroll: “King Lear is often looked on as a bravura vehicle for the lead actor. But don’t just keep your eyes on Howarth. There are other estimable performances in this production.”

Barbara Popel: “As the lights went up at the end of the harrowing second act, the opening night audience leapt to its feet to give the cast a well-deserved standing ovation.”
