REVIEWS
“Sex and humour remain important parts of the texture of Kill Me Now, but its centre is an emotionally harrowing story of love and family that dares you not to cry. Roy Surette’s Touchstone Theatre production features some of the best acting you’ll ever see in theatrical scenarios that most of us have probably never seen… a heartfelt, pitch-perfect production of a play that pulls none of its powerful punches.” –Vancouver Sun
“Kill Me Now tackles a lot of issues without ever becoming an Issue play. I barked with laughter countless times, and I had tears streaming down my face constantly for the last ten minutes. See this show.” –David Johnston
“Kill Me Now is a play that makes you glad to be alive.” –Jo Ledingham
