What They Said
13 OctWhen Crush was presented in an earlier version at the Summerworks Festival in Toronto in 2008, torontoist.com had this to say: ‘The script is tight … and often very funny, even in its darkness. The cast is also fantastic. Julian DeZotti brings all the requisite handsome broodiness to Martin, and Ryan Kelly is completely convincing as the charismatic Ronny.’ Julian and Ryan are both returning for this production and are joined by Courtney Lyons who is playing Sandra.
