Excerpt from
The Stage Door 9/17/07: Tom McCamus Summer and Smoke
2007-09-17
The best Canadian production of “Summer and Smoke” remains for me the Theatre Plus production in Toronto in 1991 with Kate Trotter as Alma and Patrick Galligan as John. Trotter gave us an Alma so fragile that she seems to holds herself together only by force of will. Tom McCamus was the travelling salesman of the final scene and his callousness gave Alma’s fall from grace devastating impact.
