“…playwright Rahul Varma doesn’t spare anyone from criticism. Just as Americans are depicted as war criminals, Iraqis are depicted as a nation locked in a civil strife, torn between religious pride and a desire for peace and stability.”   Walter Joseph Lyng, The Suburban

“[The] panel discussions…makes Truth and Treason not only an enjoyable play but an important forum for open dialogue.”

“…in an explosion, the lights blasted onto the audience, making you feel more like a participant and less like an observer.”
Adam Avrashi, The Concordian

Truth and Treason
by Rahul Varma

“ Was it truly murder with intent or was it a heavy-equipment accident akin to recent deadly snowplow incidents in Montreal? Was Corrie as heroic as the tank man in Tiananmen Square? Or did the International Solidarity Movement, of which she was a member, recklessly endanger her life?

There's no denying that My Name is Rachel Corrie is going to give a passionate Zionist heartburn, while offering a heightened sense of self-righteousness to pro-Palestinian leftists. But Teesri Duniya and Neworld Theatre are doing the right thing, offering talkback opportunities during the run.”  Pat Donnelly, The Gazette

“Dynamic response to broken world (...)Well-designed and beautifully performed, the new show achieves a hypnotic effect through sophisticated simplicity in telling the poignant story of a war-rape victim and her child. The unspecified border conflict is all wars where women's bodies are used as a battlefield.”
Matt Radz,

A Leaf in the Whirlwind

“A play that makes a difference.”
Stanley Asher,
Place Publique

“Call it ethnic theatre, call it a message-play, but also call it real and current and in your face. As it spun its tale of an oppressed immigrant man oppressing his wife, it also managed to make the life of a white male critic difficult—it held a mirror up to even the most devout liberal and said, “You still don’t get it”. You don’t see theatre with this kind of merit, in French or in English, very often in this city or any other. It’s gutsy theatre that crawls under your skin and blisters the psyche.”
Gaetan Charlebois,
Montreal Mirror

Reading Hebron
by Jason Sherman

"Exuberantly performed . . . deliberately provocative . . . refreshingly defiant work and full of corny jokes, cheeky ditties and good-humoured clowning."
