I'll never forget seeing OUR PLACE. Kanika Ambrose's understanding of the Canadian immigration system was clever and devastating, and written like a piece of music. Kanika opens 2 new plays this month: THE CHRISTMAS MARKET and MOONLIGHT SCHOONER. https://t.co/D8GuRq5TKJ

The Christmas Market and Moonlight Schooner, while separated by time, place and narrative thrust, overlap more than you might think
