It’s a fine tribute to a remarkable woman and a priceless piece of Canadian history.The show toured across Canada, the United States, Australia, England, Ireland and Scotland. In 2004, the show was performed at the Harlow Playhouse, at Memorial University's Harlow Campus where Gillard-Rowlings had studied for a semester as a student. Stratford Festival Gillard-Rowlings worked for four seasons at the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario, in a number of productions, including a role as one of Shakespeare's Weird Sisters in Macbeth, whom one reviewer described as "three of the most terrifying twisted sisters I've ever seen."Another highlight in this production is most certainly the trio of Witches, or 'Weird Sisters' portrayed by Brigit Wilson, Deidre Gillard-Rowlings, and Lanise Antoine Shelley. They are captivating and terrifying.In 2014, she was reported as saying,“Stratford was intimidating at first but you have to be ready,” she said. “I’d been performing for 20 years but this was even more excitement and quite a prospect to be there among the greats. It makes you up your game. I thought I am going to run with these great horses so I brought my own expectations. This is a dream come true working with people I respect so much. It will make me a better artist."
