Following last year’s Jewel by Joan MacLeod, and GTA tour of TheForest For the Trees with Arts in the Park, Shotgun Juliet returnswith Daniel MacIvor’s A Beautiful View June 11-22 at the alumnaeAlumnae Theatre as a Pride Toronto Community event.

A Beautiful View is the story of a serendipitous relationshipbetween two women. After a series of random meetings, they areswept into a lifelong friendship unlike either of them had before,or will have again. But no relationship is a fairy tale—or is it?Will they transcend society’s labels, or will they be ripped apartby their fears? Not quite. A Beautiful View is a masterpiece invaguery, hilariously commenting on the way we see ourselves becauseof other people, and bravely allowing regular people to be ourheroes.

Written by Daniel MacIvor, Canadian theatre icon, founding artisticdirector of revolutionary company da da kamera, and prolific writerof plays such as Marion Bridge and Here Lies Henry, and mostrecently New Magic Valley Fun Town at Tarragon Theatre.

Shotgun Juliet’s production, helmed by director Matthew Eger,features Alison Brooks and Pip Dwyer, as well as design teamincluding Wes Babcock and Oshan Starreveld.
