By Tony Kushner
Adapted from Pierre Corneille’s L’Illusion Comique
Directed by Diana Fajrajsl

A complex exploration of the intersections between illusion and reality, and life and theatre.

“…one of the most innovative, invigorating and consistently intelligent theatre companies in Canada[…]Odyssey has[…]delivered something approaching a masterpiece[…]Art Penson’s set is a wonder, something straight out of a late period Fellini film[…]startling, wild combinations [in design] animate the themes of this sparkling, literate text and the performers even more so[…there is] a wondrous alchemy of light and shade in this masterful production…”
—Tom McSorley, CBC Radio 1

“…the performance was utterly stylish, perfectly coherent and an enormous pleasure to watch[…]the illusion we were watching was perfect!”
—Alvina Ruprecht, CBC Radio 1
