Hannah Moore knew real life. The daily fight to build an existence on her own terms sustained Hannah and held at bay the grief of being used as a plaything first by her father and then by a succession of boys and men. As far as Hannah knew, this world offers no handouts. Her struggle to find work that wouldn’t be affected by a previous stint in prison began to seem an impossible dream. At the same time a nearby church was bitterly divided by a proposal to provide practical assistance and shelter to homeless women. The Touch doesn’t sugar-coat the attitudes of those opposed to the project or the difficulties faced during the process of establishing and administering the shelter. Hannah’s fighting spirit wouldn’t entertain the idea of seeking help at such a place, but after losing hope and trying to finish herself off with a concoction of pills and vodka, Hannah is referred by social services to the church’s shelter. Just as she did while in prison, Hannah initially looks only for the …

Stratford Festival: Macbeth
All in all, a solid stage production of Macbeth.The good stuff: 1. Excellent use of lighting. 2. Cyrus Lane’s performance as the porter – played with comic gusto. The best I’ve seen, despite verging on anachronism (which you almost have to do if you break the 4th wall to a 21st century audience) 3. Antoine Yared’s performance as Malcolm – Malcolm almost always ends up being rather forgettable – he doesn’t have many lines, and even the ones he does have are often cut (because directors don’t know what to do with the Macduff/Malcolm interview, for example). Yared’s makes Malcolm come alive – I though his reaction to Duncan’s death especially moving. 4. The scenes with the witches are clever without reaching for novelty. The sword fights are well choreographed and, true to the play, both Duncan and Macbeth die offstage. 5. Krystin Pellerin’s performance as Lady Macbeth, while not brilliant, is nevertheless consistently strong. The not-so-good: 1. Sad to say, Ian Lake does not impress as Macbeth – he portrays him as more or less a young meathead, especially in the beginning. To my mind he bungles the early monologues and soliloquies that are supposed to show the depth of Macbeth’s character as he struggles earnestly with his own conscience. Lake’s portrayal of post-murder Macbeth is creditable, although his teary "Tomorrow and tomorrow" soliloquy is only so-so.
