DIRECTING
"Liz Saunders brings a fierce intelligence - mental AND emotional to all her work. She creates a safe, fertile space for creativity to flourish. And she expertly balances a flexibility to new ideas and impulses with and a strong, sure vision in her direction." ​
- Astrid Van Wieren
If you want grotesque, better that it be in the hands of a master like Austrian playwright Werner Schwab, whose… Holy Mothers (Die Präsidentinnen), gets a boisterous treatment from director Elizabeth Saunders and her gutsy actresses.
-Globe and Mail
I was particularly impressed with the direction of Elizabeth Saunders... a wonderful actress who is jumping in to directing.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
by Dale Wasserman, Ken Kesey
Director Elizabeth Saunders brings a delicate touch to the nuanced story and smartly leans on her excellent lighting and sound designers who use the scene transitions to flesh out the world of the play and make room for the beautiful silence and space in the actors’ performances. Ferencz and Schutt’s performances are two of the most compelling at this year’s Fringe...A Good Death is the unexpected gem of my Fringe experience thus far; an unforgettable personal story packed with universal emotion.
-My Entertainment World
A Good Death was a strong show from start to finish. From the second the play began, I felt like I was holding my breath, waiting for the tension to subside.… The show was emotionally demanding, but the delivery made it worth [it].
