Thank you for coming to the theatre tonight,” said the company’s new acting artistic director before the play began, to prolonged applause. Instead of the usual post-show speech Schultz would deliver from the theatre staircase, the entire cast and crew descended the same staircase silently as the crowd cheered. At the same time, Tobias’s and Agnes’s daughter Julia (Laura Condlln) retreats home after she leaves her fourth husband. The latter was also produced by Soulpepper late last year, the last acting role Schultz performed before resigning from the company. This pairing of Albee familial dramas proved much more evocative than one could have predicted.
