THE FOUR OF US

By Itamar Moses

Toronto New Theatre

December, 2013

Toronto and Ottawa

Benjamin: Ellis Rockburn

David: Noah Spitzer

This production had one of the most unique processes I have had as a director and had a lot of firsts for me:

1 - It was the first time I was asked to join a project

2 - It was my first time I had something I directed presented in Toronto and at Arts Court in Ottawa

3 - It was the first time I had worked with Toronto theatre school graduates

4 - It was the first time I dared to take on a project while at George Brown Theatre School.

Noah had wanted to produce to the play for a while, and decided that he and Ellis 'would just do it'. After a few rehearsals alone, they decided to bring me in to give some outside perspective. They seem to have liked what they heard, and enjoyed working with me, because I ended up coming on board as the director. It was a script I had read a few times before, inspired by Noah's enthusiasm for it. Working on it with Ellis and Noah made me completely love it, and, in the end, we built a show I was very proud of, and I know they were too. 

"A must see production that fully entertains and captivates."
