Casey & Diana
Arts Club Theatre Company
Vancouver BC
Canada
It is October 1991, and the residents of Casey House – Canada’s first free-standing AIDS hospice – have woken up to the life-changing news that Princess Diana will be paying them a visit. Residents and staff are inspired to beat the odds as a plague continues to ravage a generation. This potent and moving drama by Nick Green vividly captures a moment in time when a rebel Princess, alongside less famous caregivers and advocates, reshaped the course of a pandemic—and how those stricken by the virus found hard-won dignity, community and love in the face of astonishing hardship. Inspired by incredible true events, Casey and Diana is the story of compassion, kindness, community, and forgiveness in the face of devastating loss.
