Wives and Daughters with UBC Theatre
I have always loved period dramas. For the longest time, Jane Austen was my favourite author. I must have watched Pride and Prejudice dozens of times growing up (Mr. Bingley over Mr. Darcy any day).

But there’s something about this play, either the distinct Quebecois dialogue or the little bit of O Canada thrown in at the end,…
