Casey and Diana at the Belfry Theatre
Join the Belfry Theatre for a performance of Casey and Diana, a critically acclaimed Canadian play by Nick Green.
As human and as funny as life—and just as fragile.
“Casey” is Casey House in Toronto—Canada’s first hospice for men dying of AIDS. “Diana” is Princess Diana—who visited Casey House in 1991—and changed the world’s attitude towards the disease. Thomas has spent five months in Casey House waiting to die. Now he’s hoping he’ll live long enough to meet the Princess he idolizes.
