Trapped by their intertwined past, a thrice spun story of near seduction becomes a revolving door of pain and torment for a trio of sisters which includes Cathy Murphy as Ada and Sara Dodd as Clara. The unhealthy yet tight bond between the siblings, who have shut themselves off from the rest of the world, is made even more obvious with each retelling of the story.

A shared incident at the dance hall called ‘The New Electric Ballroom’ decades earlier, triggers a life time of humiliation that has the sisters hiding out in a shanty home to avoid judgmental stares of neighbors.

Their only regular visitor being lorn love and introverted fishmonger, Patsy. Christopher Stanton is lyrical in his captivating ability to draw the audience into and quickly succumb to Patsy’s inner pain.

Director Autumn Smith clearly channels Enda Walsh with the radical wordplay of his powerful script. Her direction of a stellar cast leaves theatergoers breathless with this remarkable staging.

What pleasure it is to see Rosemary Dunsmore in the role of a shut-in. Her efforts validate why she’s reigns as a true Canadian acting icon.

Isn’t it time for you to put on your ball gown and make your way over to The New Electric Ballroom for one last dance? Not doing so can only lead to remorse.
