ATP’s latest a musical romp
Sometimes it’s hard not to be loved. Alberta Theatre Projects’ latest production combines a soundtrack from a forgotten Canadian pop singer and the trial of a celebrity-obsessed, middle-aged man to form Still Desire You, a quasi-musical that blurs the lines between love and obsession.
