CASEY AND DIANA

By Nick Green

April 24–May 25, 2025
Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage
THE HANDSHAKE OF HOPE

“I swear, I absolutely swear that hope has a sound.” It’s 1991, the peak of the AIDS crisis. Casey House, Canada’s first freestanding AIDS hospice, receives uplifting news: Diana, Princess of Wales, will be making a historic visit. Inspired by true events, this powerful drama reminds us of how community, joy, and compassion can persist, even in the face of an overwhelming pandemic. Experience the transformative moments between Casey House residents, their heroic caregivers, and a rebel princess—and leave the theatre more hopeful.
