Superb Show

“Robyn Israel has created a superb show about religious and ethnic pride, Canadian multiculturalism in all its idealistic glory and moderating realities. Enduring ignorant strangers and an overbearing mother, Israel mirrors her own name’s meaning, “struggle” and tells a tale where she looks for her own self-identity that squares with her people’s heritage. What we gain from that internal wrestle is a superb one-woman show that celebrates what Canada has itself fought to become and mourns that it should be more.”
