- An intellectually provocative evening of theatre, The Real Thing takes intersecting lives in
contemporary London and uses them to explore genuineness in love, art, and life.
Now a fine new revival of the play The Real Thing has premiered in Ottawa, where it opened
May 11th at the National Arts Centre Theatre. A co-production with Toronto's innovative Soulpepper
company (which opens it at home in Toronto after the Ottawa run), it brings with it an outstanding array of
talent, including veteran director Diana Leblanc, Stratford designer Douglas Paraschuk and a cast
that stars accomplished actors Albert Schultz (Soulpepper's founding artistic director) and Megan Follows.
The Real Thing is at the National Arts Centre Theatre to May 27. Tickets & times, 613-755-1111.
