MINI REVIEW:
Dickenss contemporary take on the story of Apollo and Daphne involves an immigration lawyer, the assistant he amorously pursues and a mysterious woman seeking refuge in Canada. The chemistry in this intriguing production gives myth the quality of universal truth, which is just what the playwright intends.
