Best of 2009
Three Crow's Theatre productions were named among the many year-end lists from critics in Toronto and Calgary. Eternal Hydra was picked by Now Magazine, who called the show "an endlessly fascinating puzzle, beautifully assembled by director Chris Abraham and a fine cast." Robert Cushman at the National Post recalled I, Claudia as one of the top shows of the decade, while Fast Forward Weekly named the show as one the highlights of the year in Calgary. Also in Calgary, The Herald loved two Crow's Theatre productions - with I, Claudia topping their list of shows in 2009, followed closely by the Canadian premiere of The Country.
