Reviews

“Kerr’s splendid new creation [ Unity (1918) ] is a work of powerful and moving familiarity, a kind of secular liturgy that celebrates love, sex, death and the sorrowful mysteries of war and plague. It’s also painfully funny.”
—Globe & Mail

“Unity (1918) is written with an assuredness that easily mixes profundity with hearty laughs … Kerr shows a gift for creating genuinely ordinary people who can expand on great thoughts even as they trip over their own flaws.”
—Vancouver Sun

“In Kerr’s beautifully written and often very funny play … the story is told of ordinary people united and transformed in facing the fear of the unknown.”— Calgary Herald

“The play is a hard go, but worth it for the stellar writing and mesmerizing horror of being exposed to this under-told chapter in our history.”— Saskatoon Star Phoenix

“an 'affecting period piece'”
—Huffington Post
