Iris Winston, Variety

"Sher's script, Lorne Pardy's directing and the [cast] illustrate how complex the responses of the human heart and human soul are."
Michael Valpy, The Globe and Mail

"Extremely well written... Sher has avoided all the traps of high melodrama and false sentimentality... The humour creates a distance that forces us to think about the situation as much as to feel it."
Alvina Ruprecht, Ottawa Morning, CBC Radio

"Mourning Dove asks some very important questions. Sometimes, the role of theatre is to make you think about the world around you, and that's what this play does so well."
Anne Michaud, Tous les matins du monde, CBC Radio    

"Brilliant... Sher's script is touching and realistic... Mourning Dove is not to be missed."
Jessica Ruano, The Fulcrum    

"While Sher may cook with familiar ingredients from broadsheets and tabloids, he comes up with a tasty theatrical question in the vein of gods and monsters."
Jennifer Ball, Ottawa Xpress
