The Refugee Hotel

"**** FOUR STAR HOTEL... - NOW Magazine
Dora Nominated for Best New Play!!
"This is a production to catch, not just for its theatrical strengths and insights into an important historic event, but also because it puts Canadian Latin American artists centre stage. It's a triumphant debut for Alameda Theatre." - NOW Magazine
"The Refugee Hotel is a powerful, engaging, moving, sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes funny piece of theatre. It’s definitely worth taking the time to see. Just don’t forget your kleenex." - Mooney on Theatre
*** "an engaging mash-up of comedy and tragedy that somehow seems to mirror the bewildering experience exiled immigrants encounter when starting new lives here in Canada." - EYE Weekly
"These are incredibly powerful stories that could hold their own without a stage. But what was most interesting about the staging of these stories was its treatment of the Canadian cultural landscape as a welcoming, yet precarious destination for newcomers..." - Curzon Online |
