holy balls, go see @1979_Toronto by @healeytypes while you can. hilarious, smart, learned, silly, bewigged, mondo Canadian and a story about a bunny. Seriously, don't walk, sled. go!

I'm not saying it's AS important as voting but you'll probably be pretty disappointed with the results of your life if you don't get out to see @1979_Toronto by @healeytypes at the Berkeley Street Theatre with the brilliant @companytheatre, @JamieKonchak, #ChristopherHunt!

Had a great time at @1979_Toronto on Sunday. Excellent work by @healeytypes to add some colour and humour to this time in political history. The appearance of @Jenni_Byrne at the end was also a really nice touch. #cdnpoli #onpoli #topoli

Glad I braved the cold to see @healeytypes’ 1979, a bracing, invigorating look at a turning point in Canadian politics. Imaginative, informative and very funny, it was also a sad portrait of a right honourable man who tried to appeal to the whole country, not his base.

[Jenni Byrne @Jenni_Byrne]

Look forward to catching @healeytypes @1979_Toronto this afternoon at the Berkeley St. Theatre! #cdnpoli

[1979 @1979_Toronto]

I spoke with @healeytypes types about how addressing mental health was a huge step in his evolution as a writer, the scope of success when writing is your job, and how his legacy isn't what you think it is. Photos/words at @intermissionmag. https://t.co/JSjCCFmHsi

@healeytypes @1979_Toronto I’m actually in St. Catharines tonight but I’d love to see this. Thanks for telling a uniquely Canadian story in a way that resonates across the country.

[1979 @1979_Toronto]

That’s a wrap on Talkback Tuesday. If you missed it tonight, come to show next Tuesday for another chance to chat with the playwright and cast. Get your tickets now, though, so you don’t miss out https://t.co/OcQ75sXPOY

[1979 @1979_Toronto]

Talkback Tuesday has begun. Playwright @healeytypes is talking about how the play came to be : he pitched 3 ideas to Jackie Maxwell @ShawTheatre and she wanted him to work on the play about Joe Clark and #cdnpoli

[1979 @1979_Toronto]

Is there a difference between Calgary audiences and Toronto audiences? The NDP jokes were big in Calgary @ATPlive and shockingly, Pierre Trudeau is more beloved in the east than the west. Who knew!
