The Good Bride a dramatic tour de force – Calgary Herald

Last year, Vancouver playwright Rosemary Rowe’s subversive little comedy The Good Bride took Edmonton by storm.

It’s the story of Maranatha, a 15-year-old girl who puts on her wedding gown every night and stands beside her packed bags praying and waiting for her 25-year-old groom to claim her.

The Good Bride snagged a Sterling Award for outstanding new play for Rowe and an acting nomination for Calgary actress Arielle Rombough.

Handsome Alice’s artistic director Kate Newby was adamant Calgary audiences should have the opportunity to see The Good Bride and revel in Rombough’s tour de force performance.
