“Landscapes of the Dead ventures into fascinating territory and it does it beautifully, thanks to inspirational direction from Johnna Wright.”  Vancouver Courier

“Enjoy this play’s depth and subtlety; enjoy its charm and its pain; enjoy its weeping and its laughter.”  The Independent

“This play is not a hard sell, or a long trip, and it is worth the fare. It is both amusing and flippant, without being insulting; it plays coy in parts, but it is as clever and sophisticated as it is dark and intelligent.”  Vancouver Courier

“Bushkowsky writes extremely intelligent dialogue, and Johnna Wright’s production provides him with some lovely performances.”  Globe and Mail

“The play raises important, thought-provoking issues… This Solo Collective production with its elegant and classy set and light design by Alan Brodie would be at home in Toronto or London.”  Vancouver Courier

“The uniqueness of so memorable a performance lies as much in its touchingly humane approach to the theme of euthanasia as it does in its rare reflection of the frailties of the human heart.”  Vancouver Courier
