One Week Left to see As I Lay Dying

Theatre Smith-Gilmour’s fantastic new show, As I Lay Dying, is playing for one more week at Theatre Passe Muraille.

This show is epic, touching, emotionally wrenching and humanely funny. It has an incredibly strong cast and carries an equally incredible vision of what theatre can be. And really, there is no one in Toronto doing the kind of work that Dean Gilmour and Michele Smith have been doing for over thirty years! Go see this show and learn about theatre. Learn about life.

Theatre Smith-Gilmour’s As I Lay Dying has hit the Theatre Passe Muraille Mainstage and the reviews are in! Audiences love this gothic tale of the Bundren family’s grotesque journey across the Mississipi.

“A wonderful and vivid translation of William Faulkner’s As I lay Dying. You will swear you have seen live horses and rivers in flood and barns on fire as well as the strangest and most heartbreaking family on that Passe Muraille stage.”
– Michael Ondaatje

“Theatre Smith-Gilmour has created another triumph in As I Lay Dying by staging what many would consider an unstageable novel, successfully bringing out all its complex themes and cruel ironies.”
