A play about a woman who tumbles from a crane was voted best production of 2013-14 by Victoria theatre critics.
Terminus won the Spotlight Critics’ Choice Award for best overall production. It was staged at the Belfry Theatre’s Spark Festival by Outside the March, a touring company from Toronto. Judges deemed the show “thrilling” and “a total rollercoaster of a ride.”
