Just not my type of Play

[Meg Deere · Rating 1 out of 5]

Carol Shields is a wonderful writer. She is not a playwright, and has no sense of theatre. Departures and Arrivals is popular in Canada's schools and Universities because it has such a large cast. That's it.

[Tracy Schillemore · Rating 3 out of 5]

Certainly a good play for female roles.
