An enthralling new play by multiple-Tony Award winning playwright Rupert Holmes, All Things Equal – The Life and Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, visits the Living Arts Centre on Friday, April 26, 2024 at 8:00 p.m.

The performance presents an intimate portrayal of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG) that blends humour and dramatic storytelling.

Holmes says “In creating this play about her richly-lived life and hard-fought struggles, I came to ever more deeply marvel at her strength, tenacity, sly wit, and compassion. Our play also reveals the love song that ran through her remarkable life and shares the music that was her giddy delight. All Things Equal offers each theatre-goer the chance to better know this woman, her yearning for equality, and her love for this nation's precious institutions: Ruth, justice and the American way.”

The audience will explore RBG’s journey from losing her mother the day before she graduated as valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school, to being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard, raising a daughter and coping with her husband’s cancer battle.

Her painstaking fight for women's rights in the 1970’s against close-minded all-male courts and a courageous stands for human rights are also delved into.

“A powerful teaching tool and an intellectually enriching production for the whole family. A uniquely intimate experience that’s absolutely worth exploring” says David Taylor of Dan’s Paper.

RBG’s life blends notorious and victorious through her inspiring life and this must-see performance brings the audience along for the story of this compassionate, brave and trailblazing woman. A changing world presents new challenges and Holmes captures RBG’s compelling life as she became a cross-generational role model inspiring tens of millions of Americans and a world-wide following.

This performance at the stunning Living Arts Centre is the only Canadian stop on their North American tour.
