For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again received raves when it opened here in 2014: the Straight called the Michel Tremblay play starring theatre icon Margo Kane a “funny, affectionate, and triumphantly moving portrait of the abiding bond between mother and son. This buoyant production gets everything right.”

Lucky us, then, that the solid production opens the Richmond Gateway season, with Kane still wielding the central role of the Narrator’s ranting, imaginative mother, Nana.

Don’t miss it this time out: the by-turns-hilarious-and-tender show runs from Thursday (October 8) to October 24.
