In playwright Judith Thompson's LION IN THE STREETS, the world is seen
through the eyes of a young girl who has been murdered. Isobel (Alexandria
Sage) wanders amidst the lives of family members and neighborhood people
discovering death all around her - literally, spiritually, and morally.
Sage does a marvelous job as the lost soul looking for a home. Enhanced
by a splendid cast comprised of Elizabeth Elkins, Lisa Pierotti, Charles
Willey, Tim Corcoran, Leo

There is certainly a place for overtly socially active theatre in Calgary, and Sage's program/ newsletter, which, for this production includes a social worker's perspective on violence and power issues, is a unique twist. On stage, however, you need a compelling story and a sympathetic (rather than simply pathetic) character or two in order to qualify as good theatre. Lion in the Streets doesn't do the job.
