Winner of the Best Theatre Award at the US Comedy Arts Festival! -- Wit's End II: Heart's Desire Written and Performed by Sandra Shamas Poised to win the hearts of audiences at the NAC Theatre
October 15, 2003 -
Ottawa -- Sandra Shamas, high-priestess of hilarious introspection, brings her smash-hit sequel to Wit's End, Wit's End II: Heart's Desire to the National Arts Centre Theatre in a held over run from October 28 to November 22, 2003 with performances Tuesday to Saturday at 19:30. Tickets are selling fast to this hugely successful, award-winning production - don't be disappointed, buy now!
In this side-splittingly funny and poignant sequel, Sandra's education on matters rural continues at her seemingly tranquil farm. Thrown into the mix this time are a number of issues for consideration, such as the endless quest for understanding, the sudden onslaught of a 40th birthday and, not least, lessons on the proper use of a chainsaw.
Wit's End II: Heart's Desire has been winning the praise of critics and audiences:
Richard Ouzounian of the Toronto Star writes:
5 Stars! Sandra Shamas's latest show makes you rock with laughter for two hours, then sends you home feeling good about yourself. A heartfelt mixture of humour and humanism. Funny, funny, funny!
Rebecca Caldwell at the Globe and Mail concurs:
4 Stars! Sandra's in top form. Piercingly funny.
And the Toronto Sun's John Coulbourn enthuses:
5 Stars! A heady mix of wit and social observation. Sandra's grown up, grown wiser, grown funnier and grown more contented. Very, very funny. Pumpkin-pie-fudge for the soul.
What more can we say! With a string of sold-out shows to her credit, Sandra Shamas is a performer whose wit and unique perspective on life make her a must-see.
