The Minutes is a Must-See

We’re thrilled by the response from our audiences! Local theatre-goer @annahopkinsward9 shared her thoughts on social media after seeing The Minutes:

I loved every minute of The Minutes. Thanks to Theatre Aezir for bringing this play to London!

This review echoes what so many audience members have been telling us. The Minutes is more than a play; it’s a raw, powerful look at the dynamics of power, silence, and the truths that lie just beneath the surface. Tracy Letts’ script tackles issues that feel all too relevant, and the incredible cast at Theatre Aezir brings every moment to life.

For those who haven’t yet experienced The Minutes, here are a few reasons why now is the time to get your tickets:

  • A Riveting Story: This play combines dark humor and intense drama, with twists that keep you guessing until the very end.
  • Standout Performances: Audiences are particularly raving about Mike Wisniowski’s powerful portrayal of Mr. Carp and Tyler Lionel Parr’s nuanced performance as Mr. Peel, although the play highlights all the members of this brilliant cast!
  • An Unforgettable Experience: The Minutes isn’t just entertainment; it’s an exploration of themes that will stay with you long after you leave the theater.

The Minutes runs for a limited time, and seats are filling up quickly. If you’re looking for a show that’s equal parts thought-provoking and entertaining, join us at Theatre Aezir for a night of theatre you won’t forget.

A Commitment to Excellence and Equity in Theatre

Behind the Curtain: Artistic Director, Elizabeth Durand, shares insights on our commitment to high-quality productions and fair compensation for our artists:

Dear Theatre Aezir Patrons,

I’ve received some feedback regarding ticket prices for The Minutes, and I completely understand that times are challenging with inflation affecting us all. Rest assured, we’ve carefully considered these factors, as well as feedback from patrons like you.

Last March, after Marion Bridge, many of you shared that our ticket prices felt reasonable and aligned with other theaters. With The Minutes, we’re thrilled to bring you a cast of eleven talented performers, including Equity actors, and a dedicated team of professional designers and backstage experts. Since transitioning from community to professional theatre in 2023 with The Phoenix Lottery, Theatre Aezir has been committed to delivering the highest quality productions, where artists are fairly compensated for their work.

This shift marks a new era for Theatre Aezir, and we believe the caliber of our productions reflects this. Your continued support allows us to sustain and grow this vision, and we’re grateful to have you with us on this journey. Thank you for being an essential part of Theatre Aezir’s story.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth Durand

Elizabeth Durand – Producer


I am so happy to be producing and acting again. The early part of my career was spent singing in small opera companies in Northern California. I attended Western and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. My favourite roles would be Mimi in La Boheme, Freia in Das Rheingold, Charlotte in Moon Over Buffalo and Pierre Valliere in Sixty-Seven for AlvegoRoot Theatre. Last year I eliminated my side lawn and turned it into a vegetable garden with four large galvanized steel raised beds and a topiary of a bull.
