It’s October 1991, at the height of the AIDS crisis, and the residents of Casey House, Canada’s first free-standing AIDS hospice receive word that Diana, Princess of Wales, will be making a historic visit.
“Powerful, gripping, funny and hopeful,” (Hamilton Magazine), this moving drama by Nick Green vividly captures a moment in time when a rebel Princess, devoted caregivers and advocates reshaped the course of a crisis—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 a powerful tribute to love, resilience, community and compassion.

Four young students, in a repressive college environment, decide to vary their very governed lives. After school, one breaks out a copy of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and they all take turns reading the play aloud. The Bard’s words and the story itself are thrilling to the boys, and they become swept away, enmeshed in the emotion so much so that they break school rules in order to continue their readings. The rigidity of their lives begins to parallel the lives of the characters in the play: roles in the family, roles in society, and the roles played by men and women soon seem to make sense.
