Description

In 1938, in a world about to go mad with war, an Ontario insane asylum seems to offer sanctuary to the characters in Can You See Me Yet? But as Cassandra Wakelin begins to confuse her fellow inmates with members of her own ill-fated family, the question arises: Can anyone find sanctuary anywhere?
Can You See Me Yet? premiered at Ottawa’s National Arts Centre in 1976.
