PrintStrike! The Musical playing at Edmonton's Timms Centre
Presented by Workshop West Playwrights' Theatre, the eight-show Edmonton production runs from Wednesday, April 24th to Sunday, April 28th, 2013.
The award-winning social justice drama has garnered glowing reviews since its national premiere in 2005.
"Strike! Has Important Message For Humanity", declaring "this play would do more to enable the strength of civil discourse than any of the theories of [a] learned academic conference." - Winnipeg Free Press
"...an improbably compelling piece of musical theatre." - The Globe and Mail
"[Strike!] gives you everything you want: a love story, a suspenseful plot, a collection of good songs and a history lesson that teaches you something about yourself." - Saskatoon Star Phoenix
The historical musical finds its inspiration in the seminal Canadian story: the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike. The musical has been broadcast as a national radio special and published as an interactive book/CD. A feature film version of the show will begin production in 2014.
